"In this work, we present the Klout
Score, an influence scoring system that assigns scores
to 750 million users across 9 different social networks
on a daily basis. We propose a hierarchical framework
for generating an influence score for each user, by
incorporating information for the user from multiple
networks and communities."
why are they "proposing a hierarchical framework". the thing already exists. It's like me proposing we have a vehicles that use four wheels and internal combustion engines.
It's more like them "proposing we have a vehicles [sic] that use four wheels and internal combustion engines" while owning 100% of General Motors. There is nothing about this paper that is not self-promotion (and for a totally dead company no less).
