Klout is a Tool (website) wich measures your Social Networks influence. Looks like is very considered in some realities such as event organizations, public relations etc.. Many industries and companies started to take Klout as a “ruler” to measure the real influence somebody has in the web, and use it to hire or not hire people. Shortly it goes in the CV of copywriters, PRs, social gurus, bloggers etc…
The score is from 10 to 100 (Youtube has 100), now:
how is it possible that Envato has an influence of 50 . Envato as a company is God in this industry.. how is it possible that, for Klout, Envato doesn’t have any direct influence on people. Envato influences thousands of hundreds of people everyday, teaching and selling. The fact that some companies, such as Envato, has a low Klout, makes me think that:
the score is simply related on how much you INTERACT with people and not how much you really influence them.
Could be so cool to receive an answer from the staff! I’d like to know your opinion about that, because at the beginning I was thrilled by Klout, but then I realized that is quite a crap

As you said, it measures your social networks influence. You can see that even Fabio Sasso has more influence that Envato (Fabio 64 and Envato around 50). Envato has a great impact, but not through social networks, I suppose this is the only explanation.

I can’t say I know what goes into Klout’s ranking, but to be honest, we could do a lot better in the Social Media area. Our Tuts+ side does an amazing job, but our Marketplace Social footprint is definitely something we will be working on in the coming months.
We actually talked about it at length during Kuala Lumpur. So expect some movement on that front
