Funny you should ask! I just started using Klout, which brings people together into another social network. Since starting, I've connected with new people more often and given Klout +K to regular friends.
If you're ambitious and competitive or just want to learn about your activity Klout shows you as a form of feedback. As for the 'makeover' I wouldn't know. For people who use Klout, it matters.
For those who have no idea it exists, then 'no' it won't matter to them. Remember people use twitter for many unique reasons. Check out my little blog about how Klout Influences Business and Social Networking posted on DebbyBruck.com.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
