social-based customer service systems that elevate high Klout scorers up the priority list. It’s easy to be cynical about the inevitable status rift that is emerging as a consequence of automatically verifiable influence. But there’s also something
very interesting and exciting about how these invisible maps of connection are becoming visible and usable.”
