There are hundreds of millions of people on Facebook and Twitter and a lot of people want to know who is more or less influential than others online regarding various topics. Klout is one of the best-known startups in this market (PeerIndex is another) and this week Klout has added a new feature: personal endorsements of people on topics they’re influential on.
Called +K, the feature is an easy way to say, with a click, that a person has influenced you on something. I just endorsed RedBull’s Andrew Nystrom on the topic of Social Media on Klout, because I value his opinion on the topic. Is this a good idea? Not everyone thinks it is.
