You Might Have Klout, But What?s Your Kred?

Reputation on the Internet is a tricky thing to measure. But with the rise of social media?with its retweets, likes, +1s, replies, and followers counts?companies are trying to keep score. If you are a big user of Twitter, you have probably checked out your Klout score or at least heard of it. Well, soon Klout will have a competitor called Kred. It is currently accepting sign-ups for a gradual rollout starting next week. Kred is the latest product from social data mining startup PeopleBrowsr. "We have been receiving the firehose since 2008," says CEO Jodee Rich, referring to the full Twitter firehose, "indexing it since then. We have sorted it by community and topic. We look for small close networks of people and look for how they can be just as influential as rockstars."
