I’m not saying it is.  But think about it.  If you’ve managed to convince a lot of people to come to Inkshares and buy books, that’s a sign of influence.

    I have a feeling the feature is under construction. It probably has to do with the issues people are having with credits and the main feed freezing. It may not be fully functional yet.

      I know that they didn’t want the factors to be things that, if people discovered them, people could just abuse in order to increase their rankings. I’m talking about things like spam-commenting or just mass recommending everything in sight to improve your rankings, and probably a lot of other things. That would make those features useless and it would be really frustrating to authors who don’t know if a recommendation of their book is sincere or not, etc.

      I have no idea what they take into account, but I bet it’s at least 10-15 things. We moderators had floated the idea of maybe requiring people to be active for a certain length of time (1 month? 3 months?) before they could be considered influential, since there might be a lot of fake/duplicate accounts out there that end up being abandoned. I have no idea what the Inkshares staff have actually done, though. No idea!

            My last name is Heinz and I’m #57. I think the programmers behind this did their job exactly right.

              Very cool new feature @Thad Woodman! I’m wondering what metrics are tracked for rankings. Care to shed any light on your Inkshares algorithmic machinations? :)  

              For those wondering WTF I’m talking about, if you click someone’s profile (like this one) you will see a little orange  box stating their influential reader rank. (I am #22 Most Influential Reader) pretty interesting!

              I’ll be curious as to how this impacts the Inkshares site AND am wondering what other new features Thad has in store for us!

                I am very curious about the algorithm and what contributes but they might not be willing to share in order to prevent people gaming the system
