SharePoint MVP MSDN Rankings

I have had quite a few people ask me how I am able to say when I'm passing someone in the forums.  It's simple really, I built a nice parser that pulls down all the SharePoint MVPs with their stats.  With the latest MVP announcements (New and re-news – congrats to everyone by the way), I'd figure it would be good to promote a sense of community and a challenge to those MVPs that may not be pulling their full weight in the forums community as well as encourage some of you non-MVPs to set some targets for how much you want to participate.  Let me be clear though, forum participation is not the only thing that drives an MVP award.  There are several people on this list that I know personally that are awesome and deserve their MVP even without forum participation.  Things that factor in include:

  • The company you work for
  • Your customers (Fortune 100)
  • Your project references
  • Your code and tool contributions (Codeplex)
  • Products you have invented and market
  • Your community participation (Books, courses, forums, blogs, etc)
  • Your involvement with the product team

So, where does your favorite SharePoint MVP stack up in the forums, you will probably be surprised!?! Check out this list (let me know if I missed anyone or if someone has a separate id that I may have missed).  I really do consider the top 10 the best of the best, anyone that participates that much deserves an MVP simply for their dedication and helpfulness.  FYI, I'm at (1624 | 336 | 083) so I have a way to go.  This is updated as of 3/28/2010.
