Is klusterr your personal reputation manager?
Reputation could be your most valuable asset in the future, according to Paige Craig of Betterworks, extolling the value of Klout. I contest the view that we need more reputation trackers like Klout in favor of really enforcing the notion that reputation is the product of social collaboration. This means crowd sourcing information from verifiable sources in my context by using a tool like klusterr to gather references from non-personal contacts, i.e. people you are unable to manipulate such as past employers.
In days gone by the identity community spoke about identity brokerage as a way to build trustworthy profiles for the purpose of access to sensitive data and applications. This discussion has largely disappeared and Klout has become its successor. But Klout is flawed in as much as there is so much spam and fraudulent social activity already that accuracy is in doubt. Profiles are created to sell almost anything…here today and gone tomorrow! And this is where verifiable social collaboration is really the only way forward. So sign up for klusterr at klusterr.com and join a viral community of social collaborators whose reputations are founded on the views of their past employers…all over the world.
