Fun with Klout!

Do you know what Klout is? It’s a web site that uses your Twitter, Facebook, and other social media information to grade your online influence. It also uses some unknown algorithm that I can only assume is similar to rolling dice to decide what topics you’re influential about. Long story short, it’s completely useless.

Here’s what Klout says about me:

And here’s what Klout says about Sean:

    I fear Klout.  I “have” it, and I’ve checked it maybe twice, and it keeps e-mailing me things like “You have increased your influence in Religion!” though how I did this is unknown to me.

    Does this mean that of all the things you’re influential about, you are MOST influential about Adolph Hitler?  Why didn’t you do something about that guy, if you have so much influence?

      That’s exactly what it means. And I am currently working on the construction of my time machine so I can go back and make a difference by stabbing that guy in the throat. Don’t you worry!

    My topics:  Hockey (woo-hoo!), Turkey (huh?), Tequila, Beer, Health (whaaa?), Sandwiches (from asking Foreigner to make me a Reuben, I guess), and beads (ahem).

    But in general, the topics blow because when I go in there to tell Klout that I am influential on the Brady Bunch, Huffing Paint, and Spontaneous Decapitation, those topics don’t exist.  Fuckers.

      How’d you pull off hockey!? I talk about hockey ALL THE TIME. So unfair.

      Klout sucks.

    I love how the hitler and mustaches are technically because of me :) oh and i added cocaine to your list. In retrospect i should have put meth…….

    As suspected, I have no influence on anyone or anything, have no topics or style. Either I’m super cool because I’m invisible with magical or I’m a big fat loser from Loserville. I’m going with the first one. But I feel sad inside.

    Im influential on hockey, sandwiches and dexter. which probably means my friends are fucking with me by adding influence topics.  Except Hockey. Everyone knows I know all when it comes to Hockey.

    also, I think Klout is bullshit. I have friends who have never written a blog post or comment in their life and they have double the klout score of me. Klout appear to just measure how annoying l much you tweet
