First it was Klout, then Peer Index and now its Identified!
This newcomer aims to rank people using Facebook data to provide information for recruiters – taking on LinkedIn and Branchout in the process
There is a great article over at Forbes explains what it is all about.
I have tried it out and was awarded a score of 58 out of 100. It is still in beta but in my view it is far from perfect. My network score is 2 but that is because the only network it is looking at is Facebook, where I have a very low profile. To be more impactful it definitely needs to draw data from LinkedIn (who probably won’t let it in) and other broader based BUSINESS focussed networks.
At present it does not give me network credit for all my work experience or academic experience, but I expect this only a matter of time.
Does it have any real value? I don’t know. For the record my Klout Score is 33 and my Peer Index is 58. But what does this mean? Tell me what you think!
