I’ve volunteered to help the organizers of Audience, a conference dedicated to exploring, defining, and connecting audiences in the technology era.

Hosted at the Hudson Theater in New York on 11/5-1/6, Audiences 09 is bringing together some of the most exceptional people in the world. From the entertainers who engage audiences directly to the statisticians who measure them, to the technologists building tools to help us reach new and larger audiences and engage with them.

Delivering a unique understanding and examination of what audience is, this conference will explore the very things that affect the dynamics of audience and community and the changes in communication, science, engineering, and technology and how they have impacted our ability to address and influence audiences as well as the effects they have on our society.

It’s the week for new Twitter Apps to say the least. On the heels of our coverage of Replies by TwitApps, we’re now introduced to Retweet Rank.

Retweetrank measures the RT reach and topical influence of anyone on Twitter by calculating the number of RT’s associated with a username. It then ranks the results based on the quantity of retweets (the close to 1, the better) and also provides an approximate percentile representing the overall position over the general Twitter population (100% equals complete authority).

Retweet rank also publishes a Top 50 leaderboard that seems to be updated automatically as they standings fluctuate.
