In fact, isn't Klout really just a marketing scheme for the perks? Cynically presented as influence measurement?

@jangles well, they started off as influence measurement, found out that is impossible and did a pivot to a perks business model. ;-)

@jangles I don't think Klout measures influence - more information conductivity. If u advise me to buy something & I do, Klout doesn't know.

@jangles Klout needs to be more transparent about its algorithm. Eg how do we know it is a more useful measure than simply no. of followers?

@jangles Think transparent data tools are the way to go. Then let people make their own minds up about which measures matter in each context
