But hey. Dancing with the Stars and American Idol are subjective too, so maybe Klout can aspire to that level of cultural relevance. @alkerton No argument here. But hey.

The ONLY difference between Klout and the 50 million other bullshit metrics out there is that Klout was able to convince big brands to give out free movie tickets, music subscriptions, and even free flights to the people their particular brand of bullshit anointed as being worthy of it.

That ain't mud. It's funny though. If someone came along and told the world they'd come up with a way to score our regular, human, off-line social and business influence, we'd be much quicker to call their bull... um... mud what it is. It's just so tempting to believe it's possible online. Um, hate to tell you Mimi. That ain’t mud.
