Jul 29, 2011 - @Jason prediction - Klout to be acquired by Facebook for $150M middle of next year.. interesting. I use and love Klout. As someone who is very active online, it provides a measurement to know how well I'm doing. I love the Klout deals concept, unfortunately they are not available in Australia.. yet. Congrats on another great ep guys, don't worry about the audio quality, we come for the content. Now.. back to coding.
