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.

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.

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

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.
