The sheer idea of it was offensive.
- ghaff 8y agoI'm not sure why you think the sheer idea is offensive. Companies are constantly putting a lot of effort into figuring out what journalists, analysts, and other types of influencers are worth spending effort to work with and cultivate and which are not. The fact that Klout was a rather useless way of quantifying this--and I'm suspicious whether any type of automated system is going to help you all that much--doesn't change the fact that understanding to what degree and for which audiences someone influences purchase and other behavior is useful.
- Karunamon 8y agoCould you expand why? Every social network has its KPIs.. Facebook likes, Twitter followers and retweets, Reddit karma. Klout always seemed like an aggregator kinda like Metacritic is for reviews. I never understood the visceral level of hate that Klout drew.
- NelsonMinar 8y agoI'd answer, but since you're only a 37 on Klout it's not worth the time.
