Ask any geek what they think about social influence service Klout, and you’ll probably be met with a different answer from each person. It’ll range from “hey that’s interesting” to “I F#*$&%NG HATE THEM!”.
I personally believe that one company can’t tell you who is the most influential person online, no matter how into data it is, or how smart its algorithms are.
Flout agrees.
If you don’t want another company telling you how influential you are, set your own influencer score with Flout and tweet it out to your friends.
The site is meant to be a joke, and was created by Anoop Ranganath and Pat Nakajima, who apparently don’t find Klout scores to be all that useful.
What’s my Flout score you ask? 199, duh.

LikeI agree with Flout. It simply show us how Klout scores our influence. "Today we are going to drop down scores of people we don't like anymore, what do you think Megan and science team?" was probably the proposal by Joe 4 weeks ago IMO. And here we see how easy can be done:) Now we know Klout algorithm :)

IanWoolf that looks eerily familiar to a concept I heard a few months back.
geronimobydick Hey, i gave you a +K earlier. You should be at at least 35 by now!
AlexKadis Yes but what is your Flout score?
JeremyLittau Still trying to decide! Was thinking of putting some obscure scifi reference.
AlexKadis The great thing about your Flout score is it can change. Whenever you want!

I can't figure out if I should set my Flout as #1 or #1,000,000. Ideas?
