Basically, Klout is supposed to "measure" how much influence a person exerts upon their social network, basically counting up all the "likes" and comments on FB statues, comments to blogs, re-tweets, etc. So basically, my "Klout Influence" is how much impact I have on the social networking interwebz. And, apparently, according to Klout I'm a "specialist":
You may not be a celebrity, but within your
area of expertise your opinion is second to none. Your content is likely
focused around a specific topic or industry with a focused,
highly-engaged audience.
Basically, I blog fairly consistently, about fairly consistent things, and have decent interaction with people who read what I blog. There's even a cool little grid, ranking me alongside other folks considered to be my "colleagues":
I'm right down here in the lower right with authors Mike Duran and Matt Cardin (pretty darn good company) in the Focused/Consistent quadrant.
Once again...what does this all mean? I've linked almost every account I have into Klout, so it can access and "measure" all my social activity...whatever that means. It's pretty low maintenance, however, and it's got "perks" - free stuff you can claim, depending on your "Klout", and I recently got for free a brand new, trade paperback edition of Stephen King's Bag of Bones, so, hey...can't be all bad.
Anyway, here's my Klout page. If you think I have some, go right ahead and nominate me...
