I don't know how many of you are aware of this thing called ""Klout"" - it seemed to become really popular over the summer as a kind of benchmark as to how awesome you are on social networks. I always kind of thought it was a joke as if a score would tell me who interests me or what articles to read instead of my own brain.
My opinions haven't changed much. For any of you who don't know what it is and want to read a quick summary, here's my thoughts. Really it's a joke so I don't encourage anyone to waste their time with it but this might help you if you are asked by someone else.
