If you're the kind of person who knows exactly how many Twitter followers you have at a given moment or competes to gather as many friends as you can on Facebook, get ready for a change to your main scoreboard: Klout is getting a makeover, and your ranking may vary.
The controversial metric of one's supposed internet influence will see major changes to how it calculates your score, the San Francisco-based company will announce Tuesday.
My Klout score raised from 51 to 63 the day they made the change for me. I don't really know what ultimate value the number brings to me. I don't feel any more influential. Will it mean job offers or more hits on my blog, more engagement on Twitter or Google+? Will other Internet influencers take me more seriously? What's my incentive to continue feeding Klout signals about my Internet presence?
