What's Your "Internet Influence Index"? (3i)

Do you ever wonder how you're faring in the realm of Online Reach and Influence? Maybe you need to stop and take a snapshot of where you stand.

I call it your Internet Influence Index (or 3i for short).
A 3i is a listing of your current number of friends, followers and other statistics that indicate how well you're connecting with customers and fans online. It's a quick measurement of your Internet presence.

I refer to it as a snapshot because, if you're proactive at all online, the numbers will be in constant flux -- hopefully in an upward direction.

I probably need to create a form or checklist you can use to track these important statistics. But here's a rundown of my current Internet Influence Index (as of Nov 12, 2010) to give you an idea of different ways you can measure your own 3i:

What am I missing? Would you like me to create a checklist form that can be used to track your 3i?

Let me know in the Comments.
