Should you care how high your Klout score is? — Tech News and Analysis: "While these criticisms may be well-founded, however, there is no question that measuring online influence is a huge potential market, and Klout is far from the only one doing it; Google, Twitter and Facebook clearly have their eyes on that prize as well."
Influence is something that one should desire at their own risk. If you believe as I do that words are of massive importance, being tied up with creation itself, then our sentences have the potential for an influence that is incalculable. History is made by our deeds/words. Our deeds/words are sparked by mimetic realities. If there is an ultimate form of judgment, as I suspect there is in some form, then our influence will surely be in the balance for good or for ill, whether or not we intended the results. Measures f this influence will not be possible. No algorithm is as complex as the human mind and the web of human minds.
