Using QDOS to Find Your Digital Status

QDOS (pronounced like Quodos) is currently being beta tested in the UK. For those not familiar, QDOS is a new way to manage your digital status and manage how you look online. It’s designed to give you a starting point for managing and taking control of your online status. Be seen how you want to be seen. Welcome to QDOS. It can be a great tool for online reputation management. According to QDOS, “…Recent research has shown that more and more Brits are making decisions based on digital status*. Already 16% have chosen their new home based on how their prospective neighbours appear online. 1 in 5 (20%) have researched a prospective boss online before accepting a job and 32% have searched online to find out more about trades people and professionals, from plumbers to lawyers, before hiring them to do a job…”

The name QDOS was derived it from the word ‘kudos’, meaning ‘glory, fame or renown’. Your QDOS is calculated based on analysis of tens of millions of records as well as searching the web itself to calculate your QDOS. The more you point QDOS to your online information, the more accurate your QDOS score will become.

At the heart of QDOS is a powerful mathematical representation called an eigenvector which is used to calculate everyone’s score for each of four dimensions - popularity, impact, activity and individuality. QDOS is powered by Garlik.
