Klout is a site that seeks to measure your "influence" on social media networks.  Users grant other users +Ks for certain things.  They also give away things to the users with the highest Klout scores.  Universally, it is regarded as meaning absolutely nothing.  The people that are really wrapped up in the score are typically not well-liked.  The only usage I have seen of it lately is ironically, like giving someone a +K for knowledge about "Pitbull".

Description

Klout is a site that seeks to measure your "influence" on social media networks. Users grant other users +Ks for certain things. They also give away things to the users with the highest Klout scores. Universally, it is regarded as meaning absolutely nothing. The people that are really wrapped up in the score are typically not well-liked. The only usage I have seen of it lately is ironically, like giving someone a +K for knowledge about "Pitbull". (The Bud Light promoter and producer/rapper/musician, etc not the type of dog.)

The character appears to be Randall.
