Or maybe Peterfeld, you might want to actually read about the Power Grid metrics. Look what I found right here in the FAQ on the site:

“Because Twitter is still in a relatively early stage of adoption, we do not punish individuals who are not actively participating with the service. Rather, we reward (only slightly) those who have made an effort to participate in Twitter and have an active set of followers.”

“Arianna Huffington and NYT’s Bill Keller Vie for Top Editor Spot” — I doubt either of them are aware of vying for anything.

“For as long as the Power Grid has been around…” — six weeks?

“Much more surprising is Arianna Huffington coming in at #2, ahead of establishment heavyweights… What gives?” Well, maybe the ranking system is wack? Like, it gives substantial weight to Twitter? Does anyone seriously think Bill Keller better start using Twitter to remain influential?

What do you expect?

Arianna Huffington is the biggest self-promoter this side of Donald Trump.

But who really reads her too-frequent columns?

Bill Keller gets press only when the NYTimes screws-up.

Besides, who cares about editors anyway?
