Last spring Sam Fiorella was recruited for a VP position at a large Toronto marketing agency. With 15 years of experience consulting for major brands like AOL, Ford, and Kraft, Fiorella felt confident in his qualifications. But midway through the interview, he was caught off guard when his interviewer asked him for his Klout score. Fiorella hesitated awkwardly before confessing that he had no idea what a Klout score was.
The interviewer pulled up the web page for Klout.com—a service that purports to measure users’ online influence on a scale from 1 to 100—and angled the monitor so that Fiorella could see the humbling result for himself: His score was 34. “He cut the interview short pretty soon after that,” Fiorella says. Later he learned that he’d been eliminated as a candidate specifically because his Klout score was too low. “They hired a guy whose score was 67.”
Many of us here on ATS avoid SM like facebook and twitter which many see as an invasion of privacy and means of data collection.

Boy is that wishful thinking. Most people on here are on one or more social media sites, the only thing that is different is some of the people here kid themselves into thinking they are not one of "them" because they have an account but [insert some explanation here].
What cracked me up the other day was the stuff in the facial recognition. You enter your name,date of birth and a photo of yourself- but when some software does it its OHHH NOES!!!!
