PeerIndex, which was previously known as Viewsflow while it was in alpha, has now re-launched and gone into Beta.
As it was billed as a sort of high-brow filtering mechanism for Twitter usersIt's now moving in the direction of a platform for "ranking authority on the social web." It plain English it looks at your social and "reputation capital" to work out if you really do know what you are talking about.
Of course many have tried such a feat and failed, or at least had limited successSome obvious competitors to PeerIndex are
Klout,
twittergrader and
twitalyzer.
But Twitter influence monitors like Klout look mainly at followers PeerIndex will look at how a particular person is part of a diffusion network for interesting content Founder Azeem Azhar calls it a way to "identify from millions of users the opinion leaders from the merely opinionated."
