<p>The full list (and [purported] methodology) <a href="http://www.nowpublic.com/tech-biz/most-public-index-los-angeles">is here</a>.</p>
<p>Coolest thing about the list? It drew me back to <a href="http://nowpublic.com">NowPublic</a> for the first time in months and I really like the re-design. Last year NowPublic&#8217;s partnered with AP and more recently, believe it or not, NP acquired Guy Kawasaki&#8217;s Truemors. Most attractive about their redesign is the dynamically updating homepage&#8230; much more inviting as a reader and <a href="http://members.nowpublic.com/netzoo">contributor</a>. </p>
<p>UPDATE: <a href="http://la.metblogs.com/2008/08/18/nowpublic-shifts-link-baiting-focus-to-los-angeles/">Sean Bonner wrote a great post</a> exposing the true annoyance of such link-baiting tactics as engineered (in this instance) by PR firm <a href="http://morris-king.com" rel="nofollow" />morris+king</a> to exemplify how filling a page with self-referential links (all of the names on the list refer not to that individual&#8217;s web site, but to a nowpublic.com member page, created especially for this campaign) and baiting such &#8220;influentials&#8221; to spread the word and <strike>linkylove</strike> spam is ugly and should be seen through. THIS is where the <a href="http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-nofollow">rel=&#8221;nofollow&#8221;</a> comes handy. By adding that tag to the end of a URI, search engine robots and crawlers are flagged to not weigh the reference of a hyperlink to the rank or relevance of the destination. </p>
