Does anything else like this exist?

You might be able to do it with HubSpot or PostRank, but we couldn't find anything simple. SO we built it!

ViralHeat and SocMetrics both provide similar features, but they cost money and are more complicated.

We wanted to keep things ultra simple. Oh, and FREE!

I'm looking forward to testing this out. Smart and simple. With thousands of followers I'm always curious who is most influence in their network... and Klout alone doesn't cut it.

Klout scores really show more of a relational-sort of data. I actually don't place much faith in the quality of their "ranking" system, IMO.

I've seen people with really high Klout scores because they are part of a small group of people that always respond to each others tweets.

We thought measuring click-throughs would be more useful for startups to see who can actually get the most people to take a look at what you are doing. If you can get those influential people as your ambassadors / talking you up, your golden!
