In reply to Jenny Hansen. Mine is now 52. Also noticed that it shows everyone's Klout scores on Twitter now. Like I need a reason to be more competitive!

Thanks for your knowledge, Jenny! This almost reads as a user manual for Klout. With your tips, I hope to increase my current score of 49!

In reply to Gillian Doyle. YAY!! That steady stream of new followers really makes a difference. Be sure to engage with them and, if they don't look spammy, follow them back. :-)

In reply to Piper Bayard. If you add your name into the tweets from SocialIn, you will receive some of the benefit from them. Your Twitter and Facebook platform are plenty healthy, so I'll bet your Klout goes up more quickly than you imagine. Great job being brave, Piper!

Hey, Jen! Thanks to your blog post, I did a few things in the last few days that has raised my Klout score by 11 pts! Plus, I am getting 10-15 new Twitter followers every day!!

This article has been haunting me since you posted it. I've tried to hide from it and pretend it doesn't exist . . . just as I do with Klout . . . but I finally forced myself to read it because I knew you would give good information, even though I find the topic scary.

Klout has always impressed me as the Mean Girl of Social Media. Holmes and I have a modest platform, but we reach thousands of people each week through our posts at Social In that Klout doesn't take into account. Any suggestions for how we can maximize our presence on a third party platform?

Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge so freely.

Thanks, Gillian! I hope you enjoy your Klout perks. 🙂

Flickr - most people use this to store their photos, which can be searched and/or shared.

Instagram - Life in pictures

Tumblr - more of a short-form blogging site with the ability to be creative and incorporate mixed forms of media.

p.s. I miss your face!

In reply to Jennifer Jensen (@jenjensen2). I don't know whether there's a Firefox app, Jennifer, but I'll bet if you google it, you'll get the scoop. I love getting to see people's Klout when I'm out there combing the Internet for sources.

In reply to Julie Glover. I hear you, Julie. I hope they all play together soon. Pinterest is so fun. :-)
