I have been using Klout for several months now and have found it useful in connecting to influencial people on both Twitter and Linkedin. Recently, I have read of companies looking up a customer's "Klout Rating" when they receive a comment or complaint and giving the customer a differnet level of customer service attention based on the level of their "Klout".

Yeah, it's kind of funny how that worked out. The day we launched was the same day TC came out with that post. Nice to feel like what we have been working on is relevant.

Thanks for the comment, Joe. Seems like Klout ties right into the current discussion going on about "authority" on Twitter.

Rahsheen thank you for the write up. This idea of discovering who has the ability to "spread content the furthest" as at the core of what we are aiming to do with Klout. If we can all understand who has the biggest impact on the velocity of the content we create as it spreads across the internet those people can be recognized as partners and not just as content consumers. That said, it's not about identifying obvious influences but being able to say "these are the 50 people you need to talk to about sneakers" for example. There is a ton of work to get there but we are excited about the possibilities.
