I think tenure committees probably take it into account at about a 10% factor if someone is a prolific blogger or popular writer.

Which seems abt right (in the ballpark)? For the most part - the vast majority of *academic* CS work is published as papers.

from what I can tell, most hiring/promotion/etc. committees really love letters. impact beyond paper/citation count will turn up there.

(even if it doesn't turn up explicitly, visibility always helps.)

don't you think that there's a certain kind of visibility that can hurt (e.g. too many ted talks?)

As someone who's never come up for tenure (I start my first faculty job in 2 months) and has never given a TED talk, I can't say :)

It counted under "service", so not that much but didn't hurt. Public engagement is classified as service, like being on committee. :-D

What does being a star writer for the NY Times count as? :)
