Klout is a site that measures your influence on the web, using social media sites. Essentially, the more influential you are on social media websites, the higher your Klout score is.

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. Searchers will also see your Klout Score and influential topics. This is the next iteration of search + social.

Klout is the social media measurement tool that measures influence – how many followers, how much interaction and the style of interaction that a person has in their personal or business social network. E.g. Klout updates an influencers score but you see it on Salesforce or in a Reuters newspaper article.
