It's something we've been thinking of a lot over here at Klout. Companies need to think about the network value of their customers/audience/fans in addition to their value as customers. If I only buy one thing but then introduce all my friends to a product/brand than I am as valuable or more valuable than a customer who buys often but doesn't share. &lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Klout</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 26 Oct 2010 15:15:49 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Top 10 Most Retweeted Twitter Users</title><link>(u'http://blog.klout.com/2010/10/top-10-most-retweeted-twitter-users/',%2090936601L)#comment-90936601</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Hey JR, Yes good point!

For instance, getting on the suggested user list definitely gets you a lot of followers, but people on the list have shared that it actually didn't increase their engagement (retweets, clicks etc)... i.e. those people weren't actually listening to their tweets.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Megan Berry&lt;br&gt;Marketing Manager, Klout&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Klout</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 02 Nov 2010 13:41:58 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: What Winning the World Series will do to your Klout Score</title><link>(u'http://blog.klout.com/2010/11/what-winning-the-world-series-will-do-to-your-klout-score/',%2093509852L)#comment-93509852</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Before -- it was from the summer&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Klout</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 03 Nov 2010 17:13:50 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: The 5 most important questions about online influence</title><link>(u'http://www.jigsawllc.com/2010/11/05/the-5-most-important-questions-about-online-influence/',%2094324524L)#comment-94324524</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Hey Alex,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very interesting article. I'd actually take issue with your definition (or Brian's I suppose) -- influence is the ability to cause actions and outcomes -- agreed. However, I'm not sure the measurable part should be part of the definition. When studying influence we can only look at the measurable parts but we know that if you talk to someone about a restaurant and they go there 3 weeks later and never mention it to you, you still influenced them even if you can't measure it. The real challenge in influence metrics is to continue to grow the amount of influence that is also measurable. &lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Klout</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 05 Nov 2010 17:53:13 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Klout Contest: What does Engaging Mean to You?</title><link>(u'http://blog.klout.com/2010/11/klout-contest-what-does-engaging-mean-to-you/',%2096080669L)#comment-96080669</link><description>&lt;p&gt;haha I like that idea!
