Do You Know Your Klout From Your Kred?
December 27th, 2011
A coupla recent Mashable posts worth noting: Here’s one that promises 7 surefire ways to increase your Klout score, and here’s one that introduces you to Kred, since you’ve finally sorta kinda gotten Klout all figured out, which means it’s time to introduce something else similar but different.
The seventh surefire way to increase your Klout score pretty much sums up why articles like that are entirely pointless (irony alert!), and why you may or may not need to pay any real attention to Kred:
Don’t be discouraged by your score. It’s more important to just enjoy your social media experience and let the chips fall where they may.
Exactly.

Craig,
Shawn from Kred here. Thanks for your post. That last paragraph is actually one key reason why we created Kred: to help enrich conversations on the web by letting anybody discover influential people in communities connected by interests who have also shown a propensity to engage. We believe that every person has influence somewhere so we should feature their Kred within communities and beyond a simple global score.
Let us know how you like Kred and what you find useful about it at @kred or contact@peoplebrowsr.com.
Cheers! Shawn
