Klout provides social media analytics to measure the influence of a profile across social media networks. You are given you a Klout Score based on your ability to drive action through creating content and engagement; how often links are clicked on, responded to, retweeted and how many followers or fans you have. This is all calculated by an algorithm and incorporates true reach, amplification and network impact. The Klout Score is currently used by over 3500 companies who reward influencers with Klout Perks.

Health Care Reform, Tax Fairness, The War in Afghanistan, Occupy Wall Street, same-sex marriage. These are just a few of the hottest and heated issues that presently divide our nation. While individuals look to their political, religious, cultural, and personal beliefs to take a stance on the matters, many companies stay quiet and impartial – fearful to not outrage consumers. But there’s one major company Track Social has been monitoring that doesn’t seem to shy away from the controversy, and in fact, welcomes it. From gay marriage to gun rights, Starbucks has staked its image on some very public, and potentially risky, social-political positions.

The Future of Photo-Sharing Apps
The tiny Instagram app grew to a gigantic 27 million users during its first year in the App Store. It has inspired real-life Instameet-ups, Instagram art shows and a community based on love for the image, where users can post and receive feedback from other visual thinkers. Instagrams are not only the new Polaroids when it comes to party pics, they've become a way for users to communicate visually, sharing inspiration and ideas (well, iPhone users anyway - the Android app is due out soon).
Why Influencer Marketing Isn't About the 'Influencers'
Marketing to so-called influencers is one of the hottest topics among CMOs today, with discussions around Klout and their proprietary algorithm for measuring "influence" leading the way. There is of course value to understanding the top-down influencers with huge followings or high Klout scores, but to date discussion is missing the big picture. Most of those we recognize with high Klout scores , particularly those scoring above 70, are people with a large following on Twitter, often either a celebrity, reporter or tech-industry pundit like Robert Scoble (Klout score of 85).Google+ Hangouts are an ideal place for people to share experiences online just like they do in real life. Now, sharing slides live is even better with the Google+ Hangouts SlideShare App . Whether you’re in a conference presentation or collaborating with a group, this new app allows you and your friends & colleagues around the world to present and discuss SlideShare content in real time. Click the big red button to launch Google+ Hangouts with the SlideShare App. You can search and discover a SlideShare presentation, present Face-to-Face-to-Face and change the presentation and presenter at any time during the Hangout.

Klout Offers Spotify Invites as Perk to Online Influencers
The people at Klout headquarters recently got a sneak peek at Spotify — the highly praised European music service that launched in the U.S. today — and now they're giving away 100,000 invites via their Klout Perks platform. Klout users can check whether they have a high enough Klout score to nab an invite here . If you qualify for the Klout Perk, you will be dubbed a "U.S Spotify Ambassador" and receive a code to launch your Spotify account. Additionally, if you get five friends to sign up for Klout, you will receive a one-month trial of Spotify's premium version. Klout is just one brand boosting Spotify's profile in the U.S.
Want a Spotify invite? Start boosting your Klout
Invites to the U.S. launch of European music service Spotify are scarce, but if you’re an influential Klout user, you can step to the front of the line. Klout , a site that rates a person’s influence within Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn, is providing more than 100,000 coveted invites to U.S. users. Those particular people are likely to share thoughts about Spotify with communities that value their opinion. “We just gave away 15,000 to 20,000 invites to people who have the most authority and the most passion around entertainment, music, technology — the exact people Spotify wants to reach,” said Klout CEO Joe Fernandez in an interview with VentureBeat Thursday.

What’s even more gratifying – sharing the discount with your social community! How many times have you passed along a discount or talked about a brand and thought to yourself, “I should get a commission on these sales”.

It was only five days ago that Google+ launched the first part of its application programming interface . The available API was launched just before Google+ finally opened itself to the public following its 90 day beta testing period, no doubt to get developers started in the right direction and prepped for the more robust API in Google+’s future. In the five days after Google+’s API launch, Klout actively worked on using the available data to integrate G+’s service onto its own platform. Now, less than a week later, Klout has become the first social scoring analytics tool to build on the public data.
