What Are Your Klout Moments?
Klout Moments
Have you checked out your Klout account lately? They had made changes about a week or so ago with everyone’s scores and yesterday released Klout Moments.
It appears Klout takes your most liked posts from Facebook or the most commented ones and put them in your moments. I noticed there were no tweets there in Klout Moments. Tweets were under Social Interactions along with more Facebook posts. The biggest surprise for me was that Facebook accounted for 45.96% of my score and Twitter only 45.35%. I really thought Twitter would have been higher for me. LinkedIn, Klout and Google+ accounted for the rest. I was also surprised FourSquare and Instagram did not account for anything.
Klout has changed their algorithm several times and there are those that live by the scores and those that think it’s a farce. I have heard of some people getting jobs because of their Klout scores but mostly work in PR or social media. I personally like the perks that come with Klout. It’s fun to get prizes in the mail like cosmetics, tee-shirts and gift cards for lunches. Some perks are awarded at a score of 40, others need 50, 60 or above. Some Klout users need to have special topics as their Klout to get certain perks. There was one for a healthy drink called Re-Invent and because of my topics I did not qualify 
They even categorize the perks now by topics like:
- Entertainment
- Experiences
- Food and beverage
- Retail
- Sports
- Technology
- Charity called Klout for Good

Mine isn’t activated yet
Probably won’t be for a while since I just rejoined Klout. I look forward to checking it out. 
I applaud the changes. Knowing how much of your score from which networks is a boost to those using it for analytics. I don’t rely on Klout for much anymore. I never qualified for the perks I really wanted!

Hi Susan, your new score was really high – I bet you’ll get more perks. You have to log in daily to see what perks are available before they are gone. I’ve missed a few, live and learn
It looks nice Lisa!
I also went ahead and just saw the new modified Klout just yesterday and was was checking through most of the buttons and changes they had. I had got a mail that said why my klout score dropped, which was because I had linked my Fanpage, and they asked me to change to the profile page to get the old score back, which I did.
Also, I did manage to see the tweets under profiles on the right side corner drop down menu, where you can choose from various options like view your recent moments, public moments, twitter moments etc. I guess what you choose, shows up there.
Ah..yes…perks are nice though I haven’t yet participated in any. I love the achievements too and how they keep adding to our profile.
Thanks for sharing and letting all of us know about the recent changes

Hi Harleena, I had that happen once when I added fanpage so it’s gone. Don’t know why that happens. I love the perks!
Hey Lisa,
I must say that I didn’t come across this Klout moments before. I didn’t activate it yet but I definitely find it interesting. Thanks for the share!!
You are welcome Aditi.
Hi Lisa, I’m really glad to see the new interface on Klout and I do think that they have done a good job improving the scores. I’m pleasantly surprised to see that Facebook is making up a bigger part of my influence because I have been working really hard over there and spending a lot more time there lately.
Did you ever find your Facebook friends on Klout?
Thanks for the recap.

Hi Ileane, no never found them yet. Will log back in this morning. I haven’t done much more on FB and was surprised about mine. I spend more time on Twitter. And I was surprised nothing for Foursquare which I use. Maybe the stats are not all in their system yet. Time will tell. Thanks for coming by today Ileane. Have a nice long weekend too.
Hi Lisa,
Very nice to see you catch up new changes so fast Lisa
Great! I’ve seen the new look on preview mode but it isn’t activated for me yet. (Oh wait… I gotta check right now.) Nope… it isn’t.
Are you kidding me? Really? Facebook ranks higher than Twitter for you? Hmm… A BIG change for you. Anyway I think now Klout more concentrated on popular networks. However still no Google+ pages or new accounts there. Ohw they are missing competition.
Cheers…

I abandoned Klout some time back. I didn’t appreciate how they were accessing accounts without my authorization and that really put a very bad taste in my mouth. If people have to compare me to whatever my number is then I’d prefer to not be a part of that at all. You definitely know though that this is just my own personal opinion.
I hope that they continue to improve their service and if you like the site, all the more power to you. Glad you’re liking it.

You are not alone on that Adrienne. I love the perks so that’s why I stay. I hope they do get more accurate and relevant in the future. Thanks for coming by and have a great long weekend.
It seems the more I hear about Klout from Klout, the more I hear from others that Klout doesn’t matter.
I follow it, but not religiously. Most of my score comes from Twitter, and I have a pretty good idea of what I’m tweeting

Yes and no. I have heard some people getting jobs from it in social media. But they are naysayers too. I love the perks – free stuff in the mail and I don’t mind sharing about them. Have a great weekend!
Obviously I haven’t been paying very close attention. My Klout perks haven’t been free stuff.
I {heart} Rhody recently posted..From the I {heart} Rhody Flickr group
Oh yes, do check them out. It’s nice getting FREE things in the mail. I receive cosmetics, tee-shirts and free lunch!
I wonder how many times they will revise the algorithm?
I know Candice, huh? I thought the same thing too. Sometimes you wonder if they made scores higher so more people get perks so more companies can be a part of it and they make money off it?? I would assume someone makes money because of it. But we’ll take the FREE stuff right?
As soon as I read your post, I logged into Klout. Klout Moments isn’t available yet for me. I need to bring 10 people to Klout to gain early access to features. I guess they’ll be rolling it out in the next couple of weeks.
Lauren recently posted..Have You Seen This Sock?
Hi Lauren, I didn’t bring 10 people either, I think 2. Maybe any amount will work
Hi Lisa, I don’t visit Klout very often so this is new to me. I was shocked to see Twitter is 71% of my score and 0% is from Facebook. My Facebook wasn’t even connected – I had no idea. It looks like I can only connect as a person and not a page so that’s a bit disappointing but I’ll still get FB in there.
Hi Brian, oh yes, only as a person and it appears if you add a page to it the Klout score goes down. (At least my own experience on Klout). Do you have your own personal FB account now? Thanks for coming by and checking it out
Thanks for sharing this information Lisa. I have a Klout account and admit I only peak at it once a week, that’s when I remember about it
But you’ve motivated me to go back and see what I can do to increase my Klout score and get some of them perks!
Have a great day!
My bathroom is almost filled with wonderful things from Klout Corina. Very neat program they have. I hope you get some perks. Once you do it takes a while for them to ship, sometimes I forget all about it and then the mail arrives with a mystery package. More fun!
