Not sure Klout itself would every do the group thing, but I could see another app using their scoring to create all kinds of groups that would be beneficial…. Klout and PeerIndex do very similar jobs, however, to me, the ultimate test of an individuals real Social Media connectivity and engagement is Empire Avenue, what do you think of Empire Avenue?? Thanx for the comments Peter. As for your question, I am no fan of Empire Avenue. Their main focus is on Social Gaming and represent no credible relevance to social measurement in my humble opinion.
Furthermore, their model requires the management of yet another platform, contacts and connections, whereas the other two platforms you mentioned focus on true measurement, without requiring people to plug in to yet another application that needs constant management. My opinion is free and worth every penny! My only concern is when I see my Klout score fluctuating rapidly, inflating or capsizing on a day-to-day basis.

Klout is particularly important for those in sales, marketing or any position that requires interacting with consumers, Fernandez says.
Your Klout score can help you get clients, too. Web Strategy and Design. Richardson also teaches college courses on Web design, digital marketing and computer applications.

Thanks for this post, indeed, Klout help us to get another view of a problem we all share on Twitter.. Thanks for this post. I had no idea what Klout was. I was sent a score, but was mystified. Now I can go explore and with your suggestions, see what the site reveals. Thanks again. Put the same thoughts here. Hi Marshall, definitely agree there is value in measuring influence. Sorry Marshall but when I have a higher Klout score than Chris Pirillo — you know there is something seriously wrong with the scoring!
Klout has nothing to do with influence, influence is contextual. But Klout is a measure of online activity and the ability to transmit information via social networks. I will caution people until I am blue in the face about using Klout scores for business purposes such as triaging customer care issues. Big difference. Klout and all others claiming influence measurement are horribly misleading people. I have run across so many organizations that have learned their lesson the hard way with Klout and other influence measurement service claims.
Klout has a very small value in the way you are using it, but be heavily cautioned that it can bias people away from people who may actually have more actual influence and put a target on people who putting time, energy, and perks into that will not provide benefit back to the organization. Having been though semesters of social analytics in grad school public policy it was very easy to see first hand that measuring influence takes capturing a wide and broad array of measurements from early engagement all the way through to people taking actions as well as how those actions worked out.
Klout nor any of the other influence claiming services do anything close to this. But, even with the measurements and analysis, there are so many other contributing factors that can not be measured that come into play with real influence that any algorithmic analysis is going to fall sort and most often it is much more cost effective as well as getting much higher results going with a broad brush approach.
I have yet to run into any social researcher with analytic background that finds things different to this day. How you are using Klout is something that there really needs to be a solid service for. As well the people at Klout are wonderful people and that goes a long way.
