How Klout Is Twerking Your Mind About Influence - InNetwork

my notes ( ? )

"By calling social scores “Influence Scores,” companies like Klout have set expectations in the market that influence can be measured with scoring algorithms. However, influence is much more complex. By setting the wrong expectations, social scoring companies have changed how marketing and PR professionals think about influence, and how to identify it. Instead of finding influencers from a context and audience approach, marketing and PR professionals look at metrics like follower count, unique visitors, and social scores to get a glimpse on who’s “influential,” which in most cases doesn’t work – popularity doesn’t necessarily equal influence." Great post. See also my oldblog post: http://mathew.blogactiv.eu/2011/09/19/what-is-influence-or-why-i-dont-care-about-my-klout-score/
