I kind of agree. It really is a great idea that's super valuable. It was just too early or poorly executed. Someone will do it better in the future. For all the mocking developer folks here think of Klout as GitHub for marketers/influencers (if done correctly) It would allow you to get a view into how influential this person really was just as now days you can learn a lot about a developer by looking at GitHub. That can drive all sorts of hiring/contracting/engagement experiences per year. That's a big market.
