My Opinion?
I see more and more Klout hunters in social media. Shouting out loud seems to be the holy grail of social media in 2013?

Have you noticed how social media changes our behavior?

How many people in your circle have “CEO” in the Twitter or LinkedIn bio?

Old skool me? I was still being under the impression that only a Fortune 500 company could call himself CEO,

Nevertheless, it’s a statistic fact that your social branding and reputation are getting more important than ever before.

It sometimes feels like we are part of a sociological revolution, not a technological one. Because social media is certainly changing our behavior.

Many of us use it as broadcasting medium, helping us to earn the attention of our peers. With our Klout score as the holy grail.

I hope that we sometimes understand that sticking feathers up our butts, does not make us chickens.

No peacocks either.
