For past few years, we’ve displayed a score for contacts called Klout, which measures overall online influence on a scale of 1 to 100, with 100 being the most influential. Since the Klout API has been shut down by its parent company Lithium, we have migrated to Kred, which provides better social data about your contacts' areas of influence.
Kred Overview
Kred is a social scoring system that rates contacts based on their Influence over specific online communities or groups. It's a great way to measure the influence that a contact has over specific online communities or groups, based on their Facebook and Twitter conversations and engagement.

What are Kred Influence Communities?
Within a Kred profile, you will see areas where you or a contact is influential. Top communities will be ones where one has the most influence and interests.
For example, Elon Musk is not a blogger, but he is popular with "Blogger" and "Venture Capital" communities because his tweets are most popular with bloggers and venture capitalists and they engage with his tweets.
Inside of Nimble, you are able to sort your contacts by Influence Groups, and you will also see areas of Influence on profile records.
