What’s Your Klout Score?

You’ve probably saw some tweets of someone giving +K to someone else about a specific topic and maybe thought they were playing a new online game or just didn’t care about it. They were “playing” on Klout.

Klout.com claims itself as “the Standard for Influence”. Social influence. Klout gives you a score (called Klout score) based on several variables from your Twitter and Facebook account. You can also connect your LinkedIn and Foursquare accounts to get a more accurate score.

Your Klout score is based on:

• True reach: The true reach is based on your followers. Klout eliminate inactive accounts and spam accounts and only include account that you influence (mutual follow, retweet, @mention, etc)
• Amplification probability: What’s the chance your tweets will be retweeted? Based on @mention, conversations, retweets, who retweets your tweets, are you tweeting too little or too much?
• Network Influence: Do your posts get retweeted, liked, answers? Who is interacting with you and what’s their influence? Are you on a list? What is your ratio follower/follow?

How to get started on Klout?

• Go on Klout.com and sign in with either your Twitter/Facebook account.
• Enter your name and e-mail address.
• Merge your Twitter/Facebook account to your Klout account.
• Invite (or not) your friends to join Klout…
• You’re now on Klout!

Now, you can see your score in your Profile (top menu). From there, you’ll be able to see where you rock and what you need to improve if you want a better Klout score.
