Klout bills itself as a social media influence metric, but until now it was largely limited in how it measured influence. Moments is something like the Facebook Timeline, but it takes “your most important content” from all of the networks Klout measures and adds it to your profile. I actually rather like this idea.

Klout and PeerIndex, the two major players in measuring social influence, have only been around for a few years but have already made a mark on digital engagement. Klout measures people’s social media influence by analyzing how the content they create drives online trends and user action. What Does All of This Mean?

Other than signing book deals, the favorite sport of the social media punditry these days seems to be bashing Klout. The most recent example was from B2B social media thinker Paul Gillin who wrote a post unveiling the flaws in Klout’s ranking scheme. Instead, they object to the very notion and existence of Klout.

Bing seems to think searchers want to know the Klout scores of topical experts featured alongside your search results. If you’re logged in through Facebook, the top of the bar are people you follow who “might” know something about what you’re looking for. That’s where you’ll find the Klout score if it’s available. Maybe they do.

Talk about making Twitter Karma work for you! Klout kares about your followers: I’m not personally a fan o f pursuing the almighty Klout score , BUT, if you are, one of the aspects of Klout that is fairly easy to game is the fact that if you have high-Klout followers, your Klout score increases.

What are the best free tools for analyzing a Twitter profile? During a social media audit I like to run a company’s Twitter profiles through some basic analysis tools to set benchmarks and compare them to competitors. I got good response to my post on Facebook analytics tools so I thought I’d do something similar for Twitter.

Bringing Klout to the Enterprise? Unfortunately, despite all the criticism of tools like Klout on the open Internet, there seems to be a demand somewhere for tools that reduce actual people and relationship to numbers.

Do you believe in the Klout score? Lots of marketers have tried to peg the value of a Facebook fan/like in fact I recently read that when a Ticketmaster user posts a specific event they are attending, or may want to attend, to Facebook, it generates $5.30 in increased sales from the engagement that Facebook encourages.

I don’t care how long you have been on Twitter. And I sure as heck don’t care what your Klout score is. I unfollowed you on Twitter! Do you think that announcing it on your Twitter feed is going to shame me back into following you again? That’s not how Twitter works. Whether you are interesting.

A while back, I asked a fairly straight-forward question on my Facebook page : What is your social media pet peeve? Spam and/or Phishing – via Twitter, LinkedIn email or any social media channel. Silly social media algorithms that don’t make any sense (yes…we’re talking about you Klout, Kred, etc…).

If you ask me what my Klout score is …I’ll likely vomit. They use numbers like “friends”, “followers” and…ewww…”Klout” to determine whether they are doing social right. For instance: On Twitter – I focus on retweets and lists. So, should you ignore the numbers?

Klout users will recognize the metric known as “true reach.&# Even if you don’t use Klout but are active in social media, you might have heard the term. For instance, if you follow 100 people on Twitter and each of them follow 100 people, your potential audience is 100 X 100, or 10,000 people. But what does it mean?
