Klout Review

PROS: Klout allows me to see the influence I make on the internet. Great tool for encouragement and reminds me to keep trying to improve my brand and to keep track of updates and posts that the visitors are most interested in. it allows you to check the Klout score and to find many other ways to improve it.

CONS: I have found that the community that uses this tool is small, and this has great impact on its usefulness. I couldn’t give other users plus Klout scores in order to give my opinion for their skill or talent because not many are using it, so I can’t get many +Ks.

PROS: Klout’s team has improved the algorithm, it allows you to better differentiate between users. You can use it to make a difference between those who have influence and those who haven’t within the social media.

CONS: The variation between scores seems weird from time to time. You have to engage visitors with the Klout score in order to improve your own and this may look like an unnatural interaction on social media, it means that people will try harder to get some responses from famous people so they can improve their score.

PROS: Social influence is very important today. The ability to identify customers that are influential and an ability to use them as marketing tool is great thing and it is something that every business needs. With Klout am able to track the most influential on some subjects. My clients use this tool to identify their influential customers and to found those that have more than 200k followers on their social accounts. With this tool you can re-rank your customers in order to keep track of those who have great social influence

CONS: It would be great if Klout can provide with more information. I have found that those who are influential about Sailing are in UK. It is possible to gather the information but you can do this in other ways.

PROS: It came with a unique and awesome cocept. I love how it's able to integrate with other popular social media platforms. But what I love is its integraton with Facebook. It's very easy in setting up. Managing it is a breeze.

CONS: There's not enough people involved. Klout may have done a poor job advertising it in public. It's too bad my friends couldn't join since they have no idea what it is. Even worse, those who aren't as adventurous would badly miss out on an app like this that could actually work for them. They need to push further with advertising and draw more potential and curious people in.

PROS: Klout is one way of determining your influence online and/or in the social space. At the same time, it's a popularity contest that largely relies on the number of your social network friends and/or followers. With the latest algorithm in play, it can include certain "real world" factors into its calculations. For instance, calculations will point out how President Obama has more influence than Justin Bieber.

CONS: Right now, Klout has several good things going on. But its website is currently on beta stage. So bugs and other annoying issues is expected. I just wish they could move on past this. Everyone wants a stable website to work with rather than settle for a buggy operation.

PROS: You may not have a clue how influential you can are on the internet. You probably have no idea what topics you're widely influenced in. Registration is easy and quick to do. Getting it to integrate with your social media platforms is astonishing. You'd be shocked with how seamless everything is. Believe me.

CONS: Right its site is having some issues. It was a little disappointing since I expected a smooth operation all throughout. Its latest beta UI needs a bit work.

PROS: I feel its ideas make it a wortwhile concept. The principle behind all that is to see your influence strength in your social channels. The more you you communicate with Klout and further increase social channel influence, the more you get to benefit. This can be in the form of rewards and/or perks from brands currently associated with Klout. What's more, you're also increasing your chance of imparting influence to other people too!

CONS: Just recently, the site is lagging just a bit. It's likely due to it being in the middle of the beta stage. So that's understandable. The real benefits are recognized once the program is off its testing stage. In short, you it'll work almost perfect once it releases its approval/final version.

PROS: Klout allows you to see both your influence and your brand influencers. It offers great plugins in order to see who is most influential on Twitter.

CONS: To be honest, Klout cannot tell about your influence in specific topics and areas you are talking about. You will get general score but it doesn’t provide you with the info on which topics you are most influential.

PROS: Klout is great solution for brands and even individuals who want to keep track with their sharing content on each social media. This tool provides you with useful info and shows you what areas of expertise you are an expert in, this is great because it allows you to build your own brand around the things that you are good at. You can even see what influencers you want to follow so you can create better relationships with them.

CONS: I think that Klout is buggy sometimes, and the Klout Score is more like a vanity metrics than anything else, I have found it useless. It would be great if they could make support with Likedln Company pages, because without this support we run into some frustrations when managing social for a brand (B2B).

PROS: What I like about Klout is the ability to see person’s influence across various platforms. I can see the person’s engagement, his content and even his impact. Klout is great tool for making comparison of user’s influence.

CONS: Klout still needs some improvements on their platform. It doesn’t take consideration of external sites. They need to take into account person’s web mentions and some other predictive analytics instead of person’s profile influence.

PROS: This tool has an exceptional ability to keep improving itself. I remember, it was only used for measuring social influence of a user, then it became more powerful platform. Now it is a great tool for social media management and post scheduling and even more than this. I advise you to use this tool in combination with other tool.

CONS: It can be buggy sometimes. The integration is not strong for some social networks. They need to improve the integration with many other social media platforms like Facbeook, Likedln, Twitter, G+ and others.

PROS: Klout is ideal for starting things off if you want to take a look at your influence. It can also be utilized in viewing your brand influencers. Plug-ins can be used in taking a glance at your inflential on your social media feeds.

CONS: Influence is more than just a number. It's a good place to start. Thing is, Klout can't inform you how influential you can be in the topics you're discussing. You may wind up with a general score, but that doesn't entirely indicate you're a big influence on the topics you were talking about.

PROS: Not only is Klout really simple to use in keeping track of influence across social media channels, but it has some content generation ability. I love how I can let it host a wide range of topics of my interest. It's capable of making suggestions from varying online stories of my interest. This can done right from the same screen I choose to share information with a number of services. I can also choose which items to schedule for later.

CONS: It has limited integration. For instance, the largest network in terms of connectivity right now is LinkedIn. Right now, Klout is only capable of updating this data monthly. At the same time, it's challenging to pinpoint what's actually going in the Klout Score as it provides a representaion of your internet influence. It breaks your scoring percentage down to inform you which sites make the biggset contribution. But it gets a little fuzzy when going beyond that.

PROS: I love how it's made available for free. You can easily check up on scores in social media and among other things. Perfect for businesses. But this may not be ideal for all consumers. It's only aimed for businesses who want to keep track of their business score.

CONS: The website seems to be unstable. It doesn't appear to be as good as I thought. And it seems to run into a number of issues.

PROS: With Klout you can easily track influencers around interests and even brands. Great tool for attracting consumer who are talking and searching for your product or brand. I have found that this tool is great for PR and social media and for those who are looking to find and keep the influencers.

CONS: To speak the truth, Klout does really offers great set of features and helps you to build some loyalty programs and I think this is the only product on the market today with this type of ability, but it doesn’t really provide thorough insights and if you really need those types of insights you have to pay a lot.

PROS: Klout is a new app capable of measuring your influence across social media. It functions similarly to that of Chatter Influence. By this, I mean having the ability to track the value of posts in LinkedIn, Google+, Twitter, and other social channels. The best thing about this? It's free.

CONS: It's basically a new concept. Right now, it's a bit difficult to determine the calculation of a score through this social software. But if you have previous knowledge of that, then manipulating your score is easier said than done.

PROS: Easy to use tool and it is more than tracking influence on social media sites, but it helps you to generate content as well. I can give a host of various subjects that I might be interested in and it creates some suggestions of stories from the web I may like. I am able to share info with other services, and schedule items so I can post them later.

CONS: I think that the integration is limited, especially with Likedln, because this tool updates the info once in a month. Also, it can be complicated to know about Klout Score because it provides you with some numerical representation of online influence. It really gives an insight of site contribution, but it can be weird sometimes.

PROS: Klout is great solution for measuring social influence and applying a score to influencers based on the amount or even quality of their interactions. You can use the score to motivate people with swag, free events and with many other ideas. I use free version and I like the idea of being recognized for my level of influencing.

CONS: It would be great if they could create some distinctions for local influencers for e.g. influencer who are not leaders of the world and those who have some importance within their region or city, so it would be great if we could leverage them. I have found that no one knows how to calculate Klout score. It is complicated for me to learn the algorithm. I think it would much more important if I could raise my Klout score than getting some free pack of Cola once in a while.
