Leaderboarded Takes On PeerIndex Groups As Latter Switches Focus To Platform

Screen Shot 2013-08-08 at 13.08.39A couple of years ago Klout competitor PeerIndex came up with a clever wheeze. It would create PeerGroups, which were listings of experts in particular fields ranked according to their PeerIndex score. These were created by the company itself. Eventually it led to deals with publishers like the UK's Independent newspaper on lists like "top Twitterers to follow". Alas, this didn't exactly take off, even though PI gave users the ability to create lists themselves. So now the startup is killing off the feature. However, another startup, Leaderboarded, is taking over where PI left off and will offer this this functionality as a service running on the PI platform, offering users a simple online service for creating "leader boards" for online influencers. The transition takes place on 1st October this year.
