I've been trying to puzzle out an equivalent of Google's PageRank but for people instead of web pages.

Something between "6 degrees of separation", Advogato's trust metrics, and PGP's web of trust.

I know and trust these 3 people and you know and trust me so you can trust these three people.

And then tying it to a personal networking app. "Find me the top 10 people who specialize in web services strategy."

One key issue is trying to find or create an activity that is equivalent to the web page link to base the metric on.
