Klout Adds New Features To Provide A Better 'Influence Score'
Klout, as it defines itself, is a standard for influence. It allows you to discover your influence over others on a scale of 1 to 100.The result is calculated on the basis of interaction of an user on social sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, Foursquare, Klout and Wikipedia. Factors under consideration for this are : mentions, likes, comments, subscribers, wall posts, friends in case of Facebook; retweets, mentions, list memberships, followers, replies for Twitter.

"What is so special about Klout? Sounds like another useless app to me!", one might offer. Well, to that we can say it is as useless as it is opaque - because there isn't any justification to the score. Now, in order to add precision to the calculated value, Klout has decided to recaliberate scores along with addition of new features. It has now increased elements-under-analysis to 400 (which was below 100) and number of data points analyzed daily to 12 billion (from billion). These changes are expected to provide the users with a better judgement of their influence on others.
