Klout may last b/c people love a good fiction. Klout will not last b/c a single influence score is pure fiction! Klout is a puzzlement!

A single number can't tell you everything about a SM user's influence. I like PROskore's intereface more than Klout's http://bit.ly/uG6T46

@marycbarkley Frankly, Klout shot themselves in the feet. Yup, both of them! The "improved" KloutScore seems wildly fictitious for some!

@marycbarkley There's an interesting article written by Hollis Tibbetts (1 of the good guys) re Klout & "opting out!" http://bit.ly/vankiR

I'm genuinely impressed with PROscore. Yes, it's an alternative to Klout. But it's also a SM hub & a lead resource! http://bit.ly/uG6T46

Follow Jure Klepic @jkcallas http://jureklepic.com Check out his thoughts regarding Klout too! I like how he thinks!

@jurylady It's interesting! Klout crowned itself the sole arbiter of SM influence & everyone simply bowed! What standard? Whose standard?

@intmf Absolutely! A group of people sat down with a business plan & decided to define social media & its participants! Klout was hatched!

@intmf Great comment regarding Klout & its erratic & inept attempt to define social media & its influencers! http://bit.ly/rSlRAr

@Klout...is a brand gone bad. It's time...Klout educated their staff....Has Klout...heard of...Community? http://bit.ly/rSlRAr I'd say no!

@Klout can't have it both ways! If the old data was BS, the new system reflects that fact. Once again, Klout defines its lack of integrity!

@Klout appears to have had a major seizure! 69 to 46 in 6 hrs! Old data wiped out. Newly created data magically appears! So much for Klout!

Klout 2 Scenarios: 20k influenced & 50Amp or 2k influenced & 90Amp? Interestingly, the latter's Klout Score is usually higher! Really? Hmm?

Klout is a horoscope! Many check, few believe! Why? 13kTR x 42Amp=5460 vs 1.9kTR x 63Amp=1197 Influence based on correlation? Abs v Rel #s?

I spent a TON of time re-researching Klout, "perks," impact. I'm not impressed! Perks amount to affiliate promotions. Score = Horoscope!
