Just how influential are you on Twitter? Well, you don’t need to take a guess or rough estimate – there’s now an index that can measure your level of social influence. Our hot new discovery is www.klout.com. With the popularity of Twitter these days, many ‘tweeps’ now battle amongst themselves for supremacy and relevance.

This is where www.klout.com comes in – as a deal breaker, wielding the scales and providing scores and analysis. There is the klout score which includes your aggregate rating, true reach, amplification and network. True reach tells you the size of your engaged audience. Amplification is the likelihood that your content will be acted upon. Network is the influence level of your engaged audience. It also tells you the total number of retweets, unique retweeters, unique mentions and unique messages retweeted.

This is the overall verdict I got from the site:

You are a thought leader in your industry. Your followers rely on you, not only to share the relevant views, but to give your opinion on the issues. People look to you to help them understand the day’s developments. You understand what’s important and your audience values.

What are you waiting for? Get on www.klout.com and type in your twitter handle so every argument is laid to rest!
