Klout Infographic: Bieber more influential than Obama but politics most discussed in 2011

Politics was one of the most influential topics on Klout in 2011 even though entertainers were more influential on the social network, according to this infographic created by two Klout fans.

More Bieber than Obama
Teen singer Justin Bieber was the most influential star on Klout, with a total score of 99 this year.  He was followed by Brazilian writer Paulo Coelho, and singers Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and Joe Jonas all with scores above 89.  Even though they still carry significant weight President Obama, and the Dalai Lama scoreed 87 and 85 respectively placing them last in the list of top nine influencers on the social network for 2011.

Topics and Sashes
Social media was singly the most influential topic this year but when other data is combined it was out ranked by politics topics: Iran, politics, tea party, and occupy wall street.  Although this data doesn’t take into account Klout’s latest improvements to its topics: Sashes.  Sashes are Klout’s awards for users who are particularly influential in certain topic areas.  Users with the most +K points in certain topics will be given a blue sash while users who are the most influential in certain topics will be given gold sashes.

According to this new data Robert Scoble is the most influential person when it comes to Silicon Valley and has the most +K’s for Technology. Google’s Eric Schmidt has the most +K points for Google and is the most influential person on the topic.

The infographic was created by Garth Knutson (@gknutson) and Blake Able (@abelmind) managers of the unofficial Klout blog, What the Klout.

  • Thanks for another informative blog. Where else may I am getting that type of info written in such a perfect way? I’ve a challenge that I am simply now running on, and I’ve been at the look out for such information.

  • 55 – Veto “In my opinion, dumping this shadow inventory onto the market will be the trigger that makes prices collapse.”In my opinion, it ain’t gonna happen. At least it is not happening in CA… They have been gradually letting inventory onto the market here and controlling the pricing by doing so. If they really let them all hit at once, it would be a disaster. I see no reason to believe the current scheme will change. Sure I could be wrong – just my opinion.

  • Hmm it seems like your website ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any tips for inexperienced blog writers? I’d certainly appreciate it.

  • you do represent them. You represent everything they want to say but can't. Birferism has nothing to do with the Constitution. It has to do with Obama's race.I'd say it has to do more with his politics. I use racial slurs against him because I want to insult him. Clinton was a piece of white trash, Gingrich is a pasty-faced, fat little fuck, Romney is a faggoty Mormon twit--I'm an equal opportunity insulter when it comes to politicians. White, black, Republican, Democrat, they so often reveal themselves to completely unworthy of the jobs we elect them to fill.

  • Love the pattern and I think it’s good sense to use it for a baby blanket because in the beginning babies see black and white colours the best. And I really like the yellow edge! Any baby would be lucky to cuddle in that softness :)
