Are You a Klout Whore?

[Ryan Gerardi]

So I signed up for Klout after reading that article on DS. Not letting it synch with me on Facebook though so that will probably hinder my score. I hardly let any network tap my Facebook. Too personal.

@KevinFrye Thx man. Looks like they just had another broad stroke "score adjustment" - scores can't continue to move up a linear fashion.
 
The algorithm continue to weigh actions from other sources, for example: Comments, +1's & shares on public G+ posts, foursquare tips, to-do's & items done and LinkedIn comments & likes. (This diversified activity approach def. works, I gamed, er moved my score up 3 points after the recent drop everyone experienced.)
 
Again - all activity based items, nothing than actually measures someone's true experience and influence.
 
Perfect example of how Klout misses the mark: Big Ben (the clock) has a twitter account that tweets every time it bongs. So, guess what? One of Big Ben's influential topics became "Bongs."

Never knwew you were the guy to blame for all this Klout craziness, Kevin...Good post. I hate Klout and think it feeds our narcissistic tendencies. This video sums up my attitude about it (thanks for Arnold T. for sending this to me months ago).
