Brian Gilb
Q6: I'd say how many personal messages and conversations are generated from the content you have. That is where the real value is
[-]
Brian Gilb
Q6: the most valuable thing on #Socialmedia is the actual conversations you have, not just the likes and shares
[-]
Paul Krappman
A6: It depends... Never confuse numbers w/ actual engagement from the right followers.
[-]

A6: Interesting, almost all of us said "engagement" because it is better to make connections that focus on numbers.

Robin Scharpf
A5: invites to be guest blogger or speaker are indicators of growing influence.

Brian Gilb

A4: To be honest, I do not think it really matters

A4: Any algorithm that measures things without the human factor can be manipulated, so it's not always accurate

I agree with @VictorBSocial. Klout is not good measure of influence, definitely not trust.
[-]

A4: No one is really "talking" about them anymore. Apparently, after they were sold last year, they lost their mojo.
[-]
Denise Bahs
A4: not really. It's there.
[-]
Mimi Murray Meagher
A4: Maybe just as a basis to see if you can increase your #klout Score!
[-]
Brian Gilb
A4: Perfect example, Justin Beber vs. Barack Obama.
[-]
Brian Gilb
A4: It measures how much activity you have and your impression on the community, but it cannot measure the respect that people build for you
[-]
Paul Krappman
A4: Let me ask the question: When was the last time you looked up a klout score for a prospect?
[-]

we like to say "know me, like me, trust me" - not sure that comes with increasing your Klout score.

@PaulKrappman pretty much the last thing that comes to mind ... i would google them first.

A1: My understanding is that Klout measures ur influence across diff social networks.
[-]
Brian Gilb
A1: A #klout score is a number that helps define how effective your twitter handle is, and if you are sharing good information with others.
[-]
victoriabsocial
A1: Klout says they help you measure your influence by the actions taken on what you share. Is that #influence or ?
[-]
Robin Scharpf
Klout tells you it measures influence for individuals online

Paul Krappman
A1: In Chicago it's a measure of corruption, but in social it's a measure of your social prowess ;)
