I pride myself with the life of an observer, ranking an impressive 11. Hey?!!?

However, Klaut has experienced some technical problems for the past few days, which resulted in false ranking figures. A return to normal is expected any minute.

So feel free to badmouth, developers won’t manually de-rank users… :0))

Apparently, as Ioana said, Klout had some hiccups… I just checked my Klout and my score is back to its former glory.

I’m with these guys on the technical problems, there’s no way Klout has people sabotaged, we don’t live in China. Yet.

For some reason I never saw this. I don’t bad mouth Klout so much as the people who quote it as the bible and get caught up in it. I actually applaud them for taking on a monumental task and for being so brazen about it. Its yet another reason to dislike social media people like me ;)
