Whilst checking my credit rating etc. using Garlik. I discovered the folks at Vodafone have me in default for \u00a334 from May 2002. This I’m now disputing with them, since as far as I’m aware I paid of Singlepoint(4U) (who my contract was with) in July 2002.<\/p>\n

Garlik are also getting into checking your digital presence \/social software rating with their Qdos site.<\/p>\n

Obviously I just had to fill it all in! You add your login name for all the social sites (no passwords required) that you frequent, including your own website.<\/p>\n

Then it displays a fancy chart with your so called Q rating:-\"QDOS<\/a><\/p>\n

As you can see my Q is 7346.\u00a0 I score highly for activity. But pretty low for number of friends etc. and lets fce it with a name like Geoff Jones and blogging very low for individuality \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

You also get the opportunity to compare yourself with other groups, I chose bloggers :-).<\/p>\n

The guys at Qdos obviously need to do some work on the algorithm as they rate me higher than Jeff Jarvis<\/a> (Q7290) and Matt Cutts <\/a>of Google (Q6530) Matt only today, did a post about his 1.5million visitors last year!\u00a0 <\/a>and even Robert Scoble<\/a> with his maxed out thousands of members on dozens of social networking sites is only at Q8297.\u00a0 The top blogger is apparently Rob Malda founder of \/. with a Q11,199<\/p>\n

They claim “At Garlik, we’ve analysed the digital profiles of the nation and have made available a QDOS score for every UK adult”<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Lets hope it doesn’t get used for anything to serious at the moment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
