Dutch social media expert Robin Effing, doctoral degree candidate at UT CTIT research institute and lecturer at the Saxion Academie voor Creatieve Technologie, has collaborated to develop a program that has been christened Social Indicator and which can objectively compare the influence of individuals on Social Media. An initial demo of the program is launched, which compares the influence of 34 Dutch politicians. A demo version will soon be available in which everyone can fill in their own profile. The program stems from research for which Effing obtained his doctoral degree at the University of Twente on 12 November.
