"The layers of mindlessness embodied by this 'feature' are ably mocked by the CogDog, a particularly pernicious manifestation of the Like/Retweet web... easily 'gamed'." It's really hard to get this right - Klout failed, and LinkedIn has also failed. What will be much more interesting is our reaction when someone gets it right.
