If you want to work with brands you need to know about Klout. Why? Because more and more brands are using their data to measure online influence.
Klout are a social media analytics company that measures online influence using Twitter and Facebook data. They incorporate all sorts of stats, such as follower and following counts, retweets, list memberships, and influence of retweeters and mentioners. This information is blended with Facebook data such to come up with a "Klout Score". For the time being, Klout does not include blog stats, but I would not be surprised if that changed soon.
Here's a list of the top 100 scores for BritMums members. We've taken the full Klout scores (with decimal points) to lessen the chance of two people with the same score. When this is the case, we've gone alphabetical (i.e. mummytips and simplyhayley ).
