Klout just doesn’t count heads, it also takes other very important factors into account – the style of your posts, whether or not they are shared or retweeted, and the influence and reach of those who do.

This tells us that Deepak Chopra’s online audience is not only engaged, but also influential.
I’m A HootSuite Certified Professional

In the limited time I spent with it, I reached the conclusion that it may just be the “Facebook Killer” that many expect.
