6 Features to Master Klout

Klout is here to stay... and I admit I try and get my score higher... especially after the algorithm dropped me nearly 20 points - 70 to 50. I have got back to 62...

So I search for articles on what to do... I found this one whilst watching the Australian Open Mens Final - it's been going now over 5 hours!! Don't know who will win...
Here is the article: http://bit.ly/txEVYn
