How Klout measures Twitter Retweets: Retweets increase your influence by exposing your content to extended follower networks. Mentions: People seeking your attention by mentioning you is a strong signal of influence. We also take into account the differences in types of mentions, including “via” and “cc.” List Memberships: Being included on lists curated by other users demonstrates your areas of influence. Followers: Follower count is one factor in your Score, but we heavily favor engagement over size of audience. Replies: Replies show that you are consistently engaging your network with quality content.
