Analyze Your Twitter Account with Klout

I don’t know about you, but I have been on Twitter for a couple of years now. In these years, I have managed to meet a lot of great people online and learn from them. No matter how successful you are in a channel, you want to take the steps necessary to get more out of your efforts. In the case of Twitter, it’s always nice to have a tool that shows you what you need to do to improve your Twitter strategy. Klout is such a tool. It helps you figure out what areas you need to focus on to take your Twitter game to the next level.

Even before using Klout, I knew what areas I needed to work on to get more out of Twitter. I spend a lot of my time reading articles and going through other people’s works on a daily basis. I have been more of a listener on Twitter, learning from what others have been sharing and looking for ideas for my new projects. Klout can easily figure that out. It not only tells you what topics you have been focusing on, it even identifies flaws in your strategy.

Klout shows you your true reach, your amplification score, and your engagement level with other influences on Twitter. The service analyzes your number of friends, retweet percentage, in/out message ratio, list inclusions, and all kinds of other metrics to help you gather some actionable information about your Twitter account. The service is not perfect, but it has done a great job helping me change my ways on Twitter. A must try for everyone on Twitter.
