I post a lot of links to my Twitter account. I get a rough idea of the level of retweeting of my posts based on keeping an eye on my mentions. But that doesn’t really tell me the whole story. What about thing like the influence level of the people who retweet me? Who clicks on my links the most often? Who’s links do I click and retweet the most often? Overall, is my account focused and consistent or broad?
All of these things and more can be found by using Klout. There’s a lot of information there and it’s going to take me a while to analyze all of it but at first glance it looks very interesting.
