Opinion
Sam Parr: A Klout-like influencer scoring business should 100% exist today
“And I think a business like this 100% should still exist because when I'm worth sponsoring influencers and stuff for different companies, it's really hard to know what's legit and what isn't.”

Insight
Shaan Puri: Klout was more compelling to users than to paying brands
“I think that's the problem with this, that it was more compelling to the cloud user who wanted their score to know their score and for it to go up. Than it was for the brands who needed to find influencers.”
