I Googled for my Twitter handle and Klout after reading this, and what bugs me the most is this bit in the Google snippet:

"Andrew Johnson is on Klout."

Which implies that I have joined the site. If this were some pornography site, they'd have a lawsuit on their hands.

It sort of is... it's ego-pornography

Interesting… IANAL but I could (would love to) see a defamation suit there, as-is. “Klout makes me look like a douchebag, Your Honor.”
