If you knew which of your followers had clout, you could invest more time and energy in personal attention. If we knew where big ideas were starting, that would be neat, and even more useful would be understanding who the key people were in bringing those new ideas to the rest of the world. Back in the old days, we had no idea, so we defaulted to big newspapers, or magazines or the TV networks. But now we know. We just need to surface the data in a way that is useful.
Seth’s Blog: Clout (via hiten)
Rafer sez:
Hence Klout.
(via rafer)
It was a mixture of excitement and confusion this morning as I worked through my feed reader and stumbled on Seth’s post. How come he was talking about us and why did he spell our name wrong? Then I realized he wasn’t really talking about us directly but it was still awesome.
This is what Klout is all about.
