Master-blaster Sachin Tendulkar has been named among the top 100 most "obsessed-over people" on the web by Time magazine. And we are not surprised!
The list, led by former US President George Bush, ranks the Indian legend at number 68.
The list also includes singer President Barrack Obama (2), Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan (99), Pakistan prime Minister Nawaz Shariff (98), singer Beyonce (4), former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (11), Russian President Vladimir Putin (27), Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic (61), Pope Francis (70), Formula 1 driver Michael Schumacher (77) and talk show host Oprah Winfrey (95).
The rankings have been compiled drawing parallels from the magazine's annual 100 most influential people in the world list. The list was created after collecting data about the global leaders and celebrities online and from their Wikipedia pages.
Factors taken into account while handing out the rankings were:
- Number of links to other Wikipedia pages,
- Number of external links,
- Number of categories the person is in
- Total number of revisions to the page
- Number of unique individuals who have edited the page
- Number of anonymous edits.
