Klout just keeps getting better. I recently noticed that the service has added several other social media services to its metrics, which increases its value a hundred-fold (though I’d still say it’s overly weighted toward Twitter). In all, Klout is now measuring your influence across ten different social networks.

But you need to claim your Klout profile. And then you need to link your Klout profile to your LinkedIn profile. Your Bing Snapshot will include your Klout-connected social profiles.

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.

Bing seems to think searchers want to know the Klout scores of topical experts featured alongside your search results. That’s where you’ll find the Klout score if it’s available. It might even be a way to find new people to follow and connect with on Twitter and Facebook. But do you really care about their Klout scores?

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?

Klout is an influence monitor. TweetDeck is owned by Twitter. Both of these applications allow you to monitor and manage social media – including Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. In fact, if you want to keep tabs on your competition, listening is essential, and there are plenty of tools available to help you listen.

You could promote your content through Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Klout, Foursquare, YouTube, and every other social media giant out there and do just fine. You can feasibly build a business model completely around social media marketing, in which case keywords are not necessary. No keywords necessary.
