Last year I shared with you my Klout score of 18 and today I am happy to let you know that my score went up since then to 44.
Not only did I read & tweet more but more importantly I have connected my Klout profile with my Facebook, Google+, Linkedin profile
According to @klout I am a networker and I am influental about Internet Marketing, Social Media and Switzerland:
“You know how to connect to the right people and share what’s important to your audience. You generously share your network to help your followers. You have a high level of engagement and an influential audience.”

How has your Klout score changed over the last 6-12 months and more importantly what have you changed?
A lot of talking takes place on the web these day whether Google + is going to become the second social network giant next to Facebook or not.
In my opinion Google+ has a very good chance to make it this time after being rather unsuccessful with Google Wave and Google Buzz.
You Gov announced the results of a Bloomberg / You Gov survey and here are some stunning statistics:
Google+
Already 13% of adult Internet users in the US have signed up for a Google+ account with another 9% planning to sign up in the next 12 months. Those signing up are also highly engaged:
45% of users report reading content once a day or more (only Facebook’s 62% is higher among social networks)
46% of Google+ users report creating content (e.g., creating updates; posting links) at least once a week. This is on par with Twitter (42%) – which focuses on easy content creation
Jeff Bullas has been blogging about this subject recently. Read his blog posts.
I listen up when Mitch Joel and Mark W. Schaefer talk about Power, Influence and the Social Web.
Give it a shot, you won’t regret! BTW it’s also worth to listen to the song at the end;-)
Read and listen on to more useful content from Mitch Joel and Mark W. Schaefer:

My personal video update:
Additional takeaways:
The solution is to Focus on people.
Get to the core needs of your people.
If you can do it for free people will love you forever.
Provide gifts to people without expecting anything in return is really valuable.
I am currently attending the Social Media Success Summit 2011 and my first impression is very positive.
The Social Media Success Summit 2011 is a live online conference that empowers you to use social media to gain more exposure, increase traffic, better engage customers (and prospects) and grow your business.

I like to look up my Klout report from time to time because it helps me to get an idea of the people I am tweeting about most and about my Twitter style;-)
According to @klout, I’m influenced by: @Szetela @markwschaefer @chrisbrogan @cshirky @sengineland and I could not agree more.
@szetela – David founded Clix Marketing one of the few agencies paid according to their performance and he is Faculty Chair at Marketmotive
