But this re-setting of the scoring dial and the fall out, really underscores the fundamental flaw in any attempt to measure \u201cinfluence\u201d so dependent on subjective context (a problem I noted back in May.) In fact, now I am beginning to wonder if ANY externally driven Influence scoring methodology is useful given the complexity in determining who has influence and in what areas, (more than once I was amused at how Klout thought I was expert on \u201cRussia\u201d or \u201cWarfare\u201d \u2013 maybe because my blog is called \u201cTrenchwars\u201d). So I also can\u2019t help but question whether Klout would do well to not to recalibrate their \u201cInfluence\u201d scoring model (which then disqualifies it as a \u201cstandard\u201d by any measure) but to recalibrate exactly what they are REALLY measuring. Stripping away techno-buzz, isn\u2019t it more accurate to say that Klout is really measuring a person\u2019s content distribution capabilities \u2013 not their influence at all?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A great point. And why I wish Klout told you more about amplification and distribution of content, which is something that\u2019s easily measurable and standardized.<\/p>\n

That last sentence is interesting:<\/p>\n
