Social Influence Scores: Meet the CEOs of Klout and PeerIndex September 27, 2011

Imagine entering the door at a business networking event and instantly knowing from your smartphone who's influential and who's not in the room...Would that affect how you spend your time?
Social scores that measure a person's online influence have sparked considerable debate and created new opportunities for savvy marketers. Like a credit score, these scores enable high ranking influencers to gain upgrades and free services from businesses who want to garner their favor in order to spread positive word of mouth. Influence scores are also increasingly utilized to support decisions by customer service, book publishers, and hiring managers.
