Maybe that was harsh. I think Klout is fine as long as we don't take it too seriously. I believe they're dedicated to perfecting what they do, and that in a couple of years we'll see a much more interesting and useful product.

For now, I would suggest you calm down and quit whining about your privacy when you continue to publicly post hundreds/thousands of thoughts a month on the internet. Klout doesn't come in your home and watch you argue with your wife and see how persuasive you are, it looks at your freakin' tweets.
