Far too many people these days use social media to bitch and moan about what is wrong than do to make things right. It is with great pleasure I share that I received an email from Megan @ Klout this morning advising my profile has been taken down. She asked I allow up to 90 days for things to work their way out of the wire and I can live with that.

For anyone reading this comment at some point in the future, the profile in question is/was located at http://klout.com/dr1665. 90 days from this date will be approximately end of November.

Credit where credit is due. Thank you, Megan, for doing the right thing. I hope this is a sign of a more human side to Klout moving forward.

I have been exposed to Klout for less than 6 hours and it has pissed me off immensely.
It demands a realworld name and then prevents you from deleting it or the link or the account. This is so bad I am beyond anger. Indeed FURIOUS.
HOW DARE YOU.
What little clout I have will be dedicated to exposing your vile organisation unless my A/C is immediately removed by the next working day.
Failing this I will be consulting my solicitor.

HEAR HEAR.

I shared my thoughts on the matter in the comments thread over on the SxSW voting page. It seems there’s one question Klout is neglecting to answer at their proposed panel in Texas…

How about allowing people to opt out of your system, as opposed to telling them to make their social networks private if they don’t want you judging them? People are catching on to what you’re doing and it’s pissing them off. That’d be a good place to start…

I also agree on the mix messages just like this one, the messages like this one which leads into a dead end cause the purpose & deliberate intentions where not to help but to distract readers to think there is any value around the post…

Many simply read #thingy like this one just cause of the source but when We find it being distracting we tend not to actually listen any more.. You know You are crying wolf when there is none… My 2 pennies

There is no question mark, it is not a question.

How not to piss people off?
Easy, don’t title a post with a provocative, gripping question and then not answer it .
