SpeedLink 42/2011, Content Curation, Klout, Blogging, Online Business

Hi everyone. Hope you had a great week. How are you all doing? This week, aside from me going frenzy with curating content, I noticed an awful lot of buzz surrounding Klout’s recent score changes. Some say they like Klout, and some say the opposite. Some went as far as completely “disabling” their profile from Klout (see link below), which although complicated is doable. At the end of the day, I am confused as to the importance of Klout. Is it really important or not? What say you?

On a side note, GMails recent changes (this is an awesome page BTW), also inspired a lot of people to talk about it. I recently switched over to the new look, and I have to admit that I like it. Again, you may or may not like the changes, but it would be nice to know your opinion.
