Klout?

Anybody here use Klout? Want to give a quick elevator-pitch on what it is, what it's good for, why should I care?

I do now. It seems like a fun little service. Probably more valuable to marketing types.

My influential topics are beer and typography.

Here's what it says about me:

"Conversationalist:
You love to connect and always have the inside scoop. Good conversation is not just a skill, it’s an art. You might not know it, but when you are witty, your followers hang on every word."

I probably have a low score because I'm rarely witty. Oh well.

Klout. The new BitCoin that the court jester can't be arsed to research. Expect a "slashdot - shoud I bother with it" or even possibly 'usenet - what's it good for?' thread in the coming weeks...

Hm, thanks. I still don't know what it actually is, but I guess signing up wouldn't hurt? Or something?

Ok... I thought it was like a Q&A forum service thing like Yahoo Answers, but I guess it's just ... it reads your Twitter? I dunno, whatever. My score is 46. Woo?

Here's my influencial topics:
* Cars
* Dinosaur
* Toilet Seat

So... yeah, great AI there. And who knows, maybe they'll send me a ... free toilet seat? Or dinosaur, ooo.

Gee, maybe I'm just trying to give people something to talk about so the forum won't be dead for the next month. If you don't like the topic, fuck off.

Can I get a free dinosaur too?
