We live in a world of attention. Real power increasingly belongs to those who command it, for better and for worse.
New forms of media empower new voices and ideas. But at they same time, these new platforms and algorithms let people with existing followings and the loudest voices use their influence to gain even more control.
Attentionocracy.com tracks who and what is getting attention each day. It's important to see who is and isn't standing out to understand the influences shaping our world.
The data is simple, intentionally so. Wikipedia pageview data is one of the clearest indicators of attention. It shows an active interest from real people and it's easily comparable.
Attentionocracy isn't stopping there. More data sources will be coming soon to give a fuller picture of daily popularity and attentional power.
