Your Facebook friends aren’t registered with Klout! <\/p>\n

Having more verified friends can only improve your Klout Score!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

– Klout.com<\/a> message during sign-up process<\/em><\/p>\n

So I thought I’d see what Klout.com<\/a> was about. I’ve heard that Klout assigns you a number and determines if you are an influencer, or not, based on Twitter and Facebook data.<\/p>\n

Some people question<\/a> if it works or not. And some people are even putting Klout scores on their resumes<\/a>. Well!<\/p>\n

But I’ve already determined it doesn’t work and I only got as far as the second registration screen. I clicked ‘Facebook Connect’ to allow Klout at my data and received a note that I can only improve my score by getting my friends to join.<\/p>\n

Sounds like an ‘Influencer Ponzi’ scheme to me, so far. We shall see…<\/p>\n

UPDATE:<\/strong><\/em> I twitter’d this post<\/a> and quickly received this response from Klout.com CEO and founder Joe Fernandez:<\/p>\n

\n

that registration copy is a little too self-serving. We’ll change it.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

That’s impressive to me – kudos to Klout for listening. Does this mean I’ve improved my Klout score? I appear to be influencing<\/em> Klout’s verbiage on it’s own website!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
