How is influence measured?

We measure influence based on an individual's online reach, relevance and syndication, as well as that of his or her outlets. Our algorithm considers the content (articles, blog posts, tweets, videos, etc.) that this person creates across multiple channels over the past year, and then analyzes it against more than 40 distinct metrics.
