Much Ado about Klout
- Recommended by:

Recent changes to Klout's algorithm, as well as revelations about some of its practices, have generated a powerful backlash against the company and its business model, as well as the tool itself. The latest Digital Era Thinkers Blog post provides access to a set of pieces that provide a comprehensive look inside the issues, in addition to offering insights about the utility of all the furor.

Courtney - interesting post. I left a reply on your website.
The net result is that I still believe Klout is seriously flawed. Maybe we can have some more dialogue (debate) here on Focus... I'm sure it will be an interesting discussion!
Apologize if this comment shows up in addition to the one I submitted earlier which seems to have disappeared. Focus has a tendency to "lose its place" occasionally...
Thanks for your thoughtful comment, Robert. I left a response on my blog post as well.
I haven't seen too many people defending Klout in the recent brouhaha - other than Klout folks, of course. Most of the responses to the newly-impassioned critics that I've seen have been from people who seem to have had a more balanced perspective all along (i.e., they new it was flawed) and think the latest uproar is a bit of an overreaction.
