I ad never heard of Klout Score prior to Joe mentioning it.

So I signed up and gave it a try. It asked for my Facebook and Twitter. Said I had a score of like 16 out of 100.

Nothing about linking Yahoo Groups, Tumblr, XTube, AEBN, HotMovies, Amazon, Kindle, Nook, Kobo, GFY, GWW ... and Facebook only for the primary account, not about fan pages and groups.

Just now, I get an e-mail from them, that my score had gone up - to 36. Average is 40.

I really don't think I did anything special - but it went from 16 to 36!

So I really can't get too excited about Klout. Sounds like another fake, manufactured or manipulated something or other.
