I thought that is a website too look up if some network is down (like the GeekHack server).

I pretty much can't stand Klout. I don't tweet to influence people. Also the fact that people have been denied job positions due to not having enough Klout points.

For me social networking extends to forums and chatting over irc. I won't twit people or subject myself to myface. GEt OFF My Lawn!!!11!

Seriously? Im on klout. I would never hire a dev based on their klout. Id put it into consideration with a community manager position, but never make it a deciding factor.

Klout is a glorified ****-waving competition utilized by talentless people in the tech industry (SEO "experts", bloggers, etc). Anyone who hires, fires or even intends on using Klout as a tool to assess themselves or others, is pretty much just a lazy way of getting out of doing real interviews/screenings.

It's hard to take something that rhymes with "clout" very seriously when the president of the greatest nation on Earth, who is not technologically challenged (like most of his predecessors) has a score of what? something in the 60% range?

I don't Tweet or Facebook, and I was not even allowed to check my score unless I created an account with them and logged in.

What a crock.

To be fair, it does measure your influence across Twitter and Facebook, so it really isn't much use for those who don't do either.
