It’s been a while since I actually read a forwarded email. Just so happened to read this one today and it cracked me up. Enjoy!
What’s your TweetLevel?
Edelman has just announced two free influence measurement tools for blogs and Twitter, called BlogLevel andTweetLevel respectively.
Both tools offer practical intelligence for companies and brands, using a proprietary algorithm that uses forty different metrics to track and score bloggers and tweeters – in any language and country – according to their influence.
Are these the first influence measurement tools out there? Most certainly not. Lots of websites assign scores to influencers based on their online activity. These two tools by Edelman, in my opinion, are behind some others like Klout, which scores you based on your cumulative activity on three social networks – Twitter, Facebook and Foursquare. TweetLevel, as its name suggests, only measures Twitter activity, while BlogLevel only measures activity on your blog.
The one thing I must say that is different about TweetLevel and BlogLevel, however, is the lowdown section, which gives users detailed information on where they stand on each of the four metrics – influence, popularity, engagement and trust. They’re probably fairly generic based on your score band, but its a start 
What I’d like to see now though, is a tool that puts a dollar value to the Tweet or Facebook update of a person based on their combined influence score across social networks and blogs. Let me know if you know of any.

Facebook on an Excel sheet while in the office
Always worried that your boss will see you spending an excessive amount of time on Facebook while you’re supposed to be working? Well now you can keep up with your friends, update your status, comments on friends’ pictures, all on an Excel spreadsheet – no one will know you’re not really working!
Check out the screenshots below – all you have to do is to go to the Diesel campaign site to download an app, key in your Facebook account details and you’re all set.
All of this is carried out by Diesel in a bid to make work more fun. It’s a cool little app that will get people talking and some people might use it but it’s more about making a bit of noise around the launch of the campaign and for the relatively small cost of developing a simple app it is something that will get massive coverage because of it’s connections to Facebook. Hats off to Diesel on this one.
