Which Officials Have Klout Around Prince George's County?
Patch runs down the Klout scores for Twitter-savvy local and county officials.
Klout—a San Francisco-based company that launched in 2008—measures how much influence people have on others via social media such as Twitter and Facebook.
The service also indicates what topics users are having the most impact on and who they're influencing. Scores range from 1 to 100, with higher ratings signifying greater reach.
