Well, this was too good not to share - when I heard about the flying shoes and W. I had to see a video of it (and there always seems to be videos of everything, these days).
But, since Webmetricsguru.com is a Web Analytics Blog - it seems unfair to write about something like Flying Shoes, without talking about how we can track the effects.
By the way, I wonder if, after this incident in Iraq, if Secret Service will now make all reporters take off their shoes when attending a Press Conference with a President, in much the same way that we have to take our shoes off when we and put them through scanners every time we take a domestic or international flight.
First, I looked at Radian6 Influential Tracker Widget to see what might be the most Influential source of media here and it’s coming from a YouTube Video by “LiberalBias100“.
Still, with influence in mind - I went to BlogPulse and caught the Conversation Seed - a tool that Blogpulse has and I rarely ever successfully used. According to BlogPulse - since the shoes flew off and were thrown at George W. Bush today several posts have already been written.
Noticed that quite a few smaller blogs picked up the story first - it would be nice if Blogpulse published the time lines and influence of each blog whose post appears below.
