"\"Klouchebag\" can be defined as (how do we put this delicately?) a person who is, frankly, a complete douchebag on social media. As you might infer, the word pertains specifically to Klout, a company that measures analytics to determine a user's influence across social networks. \nUsers receive higher Klout scores the more active and engaged they are on social platforms like Facebook and Twitter. Based on a score from 1-100, Klout influence is also measured by follower count and influence. Many users have taken it upon themselves to achieve the highest possible score by loading their social networks with content and actively trying to raise their follower counts \u2014 you can imagine that some people don't appreciate this \"klouchey\" behavior.\n\nSEE ALSO: Klout CEO Hints at Redesign, Local Feature, Brand Page Update\nAt this year's Mashable Connect conference in Orlando, Fla., Mashable editor in chief Lance Ulanoff caught up backstage with the founder of Klout, Joe Fernandez. Ulanoff asked him what he thought of the term \"klouchebag.\"\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
