Well, I just signed up for Klout... for the third time.
Klout is a free social site influence measuring tool that works very hard at giving the user information about how they are doing as far as impacting the social internet.
Klout has been good to me, because supposedly I have a high score, between 51 to 60. President Obama has a perfect score with 100.
I've gotten several nice freebies because of my higher score, including several cool things I passed on to my daughters and Mary. Mary has enough toe nail polish to last till she dies.
I also received a couple of things I enjoyed, including a free year's subscription to The Red BULLetin, a magazine for guys and extreme athletes put out by the energy drink Red Bull.
What frustrates me about Klout is that the scoring is inconsistent. I noticed once after I posted a picture that was shared 26 times that my score dropped. I'm also less concerned about my social score and more about my blog views. This inconsistency bothered me so much that I've dropped out twice.
But I'm back in again. They are working hard to broaden their scoring info, which can only help me.
If you like lots of info, and you have nerves of steel, which sometimes I don't, I'd highly recommend them.
If, however, you're easily offended by the stupidity of computer engineers, you may want to wait 6 months before signing up.
Mary is in their corner. She says they're doing their best. Even when I'm really mad at them, I have to reluctantly agree with her.
