I would take Klout.com with a grain of salt. The Klout score matters less than some of the other data it can give you. I had previously posted some info back when Klout’s homepage looked a bit different. This is the update to that.
The two things I think Klout excels as as a tool (screen shot to illustrate):
- I can see if I have been slacking on my social media activity. If I see a see a significant drop I know I’m not doing enough. But keep in mind, if you take a vacation or a weekend off, Klout doesn’t know or care so I wouldn’t worry about little drops here and there.
- I can see if I’m neglecting any social media network that I meant to be putting some focus on. (Not all in this list are items I’m focused on but it’s good for an overview.)
You have to log into Klout.com in order to see the screen that I have attached but it’s the current view at https://klout.com/#/measure
