College Park Klout: Who Has it?
The website "Klout" measures the influence we have on others through social media.
Councilman (Dist. 4) has a little more than half the influence through social media networks as County Executive Rushern Baker, according to the website Klout. University of Maryland President Wallace Loh is one point higher than Baker, according to the site.
Klout measures how much influence a person has on others via social media, such as Twitter and Facebook, in which topics they are most influencial, and who is being impacted.
Patch did a run down of some local officials and Prince George's County officials and agencies to find out what their Twitter Klout scores are. Here are the results:
