Scoring Klout: The Inside Scoop on the Web's Hottest Measure of Social Influence [Infographic]

Posted: 06 Jul 2012 11:09 AM PDT

Facebook allows us to obsess over the mundane details of our friends' lives, and Google+ has made hanging out a legitimate activity even for people over the age of 17. So all the Web needed to finally become high school all over again was a way to tell who the popular kids were. Now it's here in the form of Klout, a company that assigns a numerical value to how influential you are online.

Is Google Plus a Failure [Infographic]

Posted: 05 Jul 2012 08:15 PM PDT

In the marketing community, we keep hearing about Google+ as the marketers dream platform. Features such as Ripples and the Circles function do seem incredibly appealing. It's fair to say that the audience segmentation and targeting options are unparalleled and in a marketer's perfect world, everyone would be using the service. But guys, I hate to piss on your rainbow, but no real people in the real world are using Google+.

Based on anecdotal and statistical information, it seems as though the only people that are truly involved in any sort of Google+ community are the people that stand to benefit from widespread uptake of the platform. That is never going to entice the masses into abandoning their longstanding relationship with Facebook, Twitter and their new BFF, Pinterest. At the moment, Google+ is like a pool of piiranhas. The piranhas in this metaphor being online marketers, waiting to segment, target and sell to any real person that dares to step into the water.
