Klout Crowns Bieber "King", and Rihanna a "Thought Leader"

Klout is one of the bigger ones basing its influence score (0 to 100) on Facebook and Twitter presence and influence. Klout’s blog just posted about the the top 10 musicians with the most influence.  Bieber reigned supreme, scoring a 100, and is labeled a “Celebrity”.  Gaga is #2.  More interesting to me, however, was the assigning of the title “Thought Leader” to Rihanna and Nicki Minaj.  Really?  “Thought Leaders”?  Alarming?  Or the simple reality?  Both.  Anyway, here’s the list, FYI:

1. Justin Bieber 100
2. Lady Gaga 94
3. Chris Brown 92
4. Rihanna 91
5. Joe Jonas 90
6. Gypsy Heart Tour 90
7. Selena Gomez 90
8. Nicki Minaj 89
9. Jasmine V 88
10. Katy Perry 88

Btw, on a positive note, it’s reassuring to know where to look for guidance during the upcoming election.]]>
