Give each other +K today!

Give each other +K today! 10/3/2011 In This Issue BUY ME BOOZE PLEEZE Give each other (&me) +K Klout Tasks @Linz_Shelton Give @Linz_Shelton &@JustonPayne +K in"Handbags" ... and@EFlow03 +K in"Gout" :-) Also ... These are a few of my favorite things: #HintHint Kloutsters, I realize I'm one Klout Tip behind (again). Sorry about that. Klout has recently added Topic Pages (learn more about thathere ...) The basic idea: "Users are more than a single number, and Klout's more than just a score" ... more on that on the Klout Blog. So today, we're going to tell the world about our friends who are influencers on a given topic. For example, @ProfGalloway is influential about "Marketing", @BethanyArazoza is influential about "Homework" (huh?), and @JustonPayne is influential about "handbags" ... let's def spread the word about that one. Let's get to it ... Give each other +K today. Log into klout.com In the top right search bar, search for your friends twitter handles (note: do NOT use the @sign. If you were searching for me, enter: Linz_Shelton and not @Linz_Shelton) Easy: you can start by looking at your "Influencer of ..." list, right before your profile pic, for ideas re: who to assign +K Advanced: go back to your Formulists we created last week, and look for your "top tweeps" - search them on the Klout platform & start there. There the ones that shwo you the most Twitter love, might as well pay it back. You will see MOST of your friends are influential about at least a few topics. Click the "see all ..." button under the "Influential about" short list. So if you were feeling generous, you'd give me +K in "Handbags" ... or anything else on that list really. You can give up to 5 +K's a day, so use them well. You are also given the option to tweet or post that you have given someone +K, DO IT. It's nice :-) If someone gives you +K, say thank you. Not kidding, don't be rude. FYI: some of your friends will not be influential about any topics yet. This doesn't mean they're vapid, uninteresting individuals with nothing to contribute (in most cases.) It just means they haven't tweeted enough for Klout to have established them as influential about any particular topics yet. Give them time, and when they do tweet something interesting, retweet it! This helps Klout get to know them/they're influence. Sometimes Klout is a little weird in their interpretation of your topics, case in point: @EFlow03 is supposedly influential about "Gout": (Ari actually did that to himself w/ a little Klout experiment ... tweet at him & ask him how.) Just keep tweeting about stuff that matters to you, eventually the tool will catch up. That's all for now, more Wednesday. -- Linz Shelton Mobile 310.402.3240 | Twitter @Linz_Shelton MBA 2012 | NYU Leonard N.
