We do not know that Klout will be important in the future, but the partnerships with Bing, Chrome, and many big companies suggest it will be. There are marketing courses now where your grade for the course depends on your Klout score!
“Predicting the Internet's catastrophic collapse and ghost sites galore in 1996.
(From the Ether) (Industry Trend or Event)(Column)InfoWorld | December 04, 1995 |
Metcalfe, Robert M. | Almost all of the many predictions now being made about 1996
hinge on the Internet's continuing exponential growth. But I predict the Internet, which
only just recently got this section here in InfoWorld, will soon go spectacularly supernova
and in 1996 catastrophically collapse. Here's why there soon will be only World Wide
Web ghost pages: Money. Investors poured a lot of money into the Internet but ….”

Claiming today is your birthday or that you are getting married will increase your Klout score temporarily, as will contacting high Klout people and getting them to react back to you. But these strategies are not sustainable.

Being involved in a number of different networks and social media sites helps, but quality trumps quantity. Many high Klout people are not constantly active on sites, may be silent for long periods. Being influential in the real world also helps.

A high Klout score becomes a natural side
effect of behavior you want to be engaging
in anyway!

The music video for the song contains still
shots from high points of the course.

When a cell phone with an extra battery saved my life on Signal Hill in December
2004, it got me thinking about whether this was a
metaphor for how technology will save us all
in the long run.

I will tell you the Signal Hill story and you can come to your own conclusions.

I run Leonard Cohen Nights musical tribute events celebrating Leonard Cohen’s birthday in September in
Edmonton. Vicky Hynes runs a three day Feast of Cohen between Christmas and New Years, in St. Johns, Newfoundland. In 2004 she asked me and my wife to join them for their event as a special guest. We arrived December 28th with
plans to attend the December 29th
performance at 8 pm.

The evening of the 29th and morning of the 29th we had
nothing to do and it sat there majestically looking back at us! “Come to me” it seemed to say.

This becomes important later in
the story!

We did notice there were no footprints in the fresh fallen snow on the trail!

My coat was very slippery and we
were cold enough to have stopped shivering, an
ominous sign!

The circuit board of the phone kept freezing up and
shorting our from the sea spray but by warming the phone and battery in my
hand and replacing one battery as the other froze I was able to make the
call.

Five stayed on the safe ground above us and one
rappelled down to our steeply inclined icy rock perch. He connected the two of us and our digital
camera to the rope and we gradually inched back to
safety one by one.

We freshened up and were able to make it to our seats
of honor at the Feast of Cohen show right on time
at 8 pm!

If the default position of human beings is to have a cell phone, is it correct to say that we are saved by cell phones regularly, or is that the
wrong way to think about it? We reset life’s expectations to where we are always able to reach others when we need them. That becomes
just normal life.

Is it possible we are safer because of technology and just don’t realize it? Safety accompanies abundance
and post-scarcity.
Is it possible Klout is making us better more goal directed Internet
citizens?
