Anyone who reads my post regularly will know I am really interested in Klout, Peer Index etc and read another good article on Klout. Did any join their #kloutchat. I have looked at the responses:
+K affects your topics and Topic Pages, but not your overall Score
Klout states the Avg Score is around 20 and a Score of 50+ puts you in the 95th percentile
Your activity never affects your Score, but others engaging with you helps. If they are influential it helps more
Also anyone know about SocialBakers
My digital stat of the day:
Globally, people spend 1 out of every 4.5 minutes on a social networking site Nielsen as cited by New York Times, June 2010
