Big_Ben_Block has more than 141,000 followers on Twitter, most of them ironic. The only tweets sent out by that handle involve the word ‘BONG’ a number of times. Very droll.
However more interestingly the Klout score of Big_Ben_Clock at time of writing was 68 (‘highly influential’), and notes that apart from London and England, it is an authority on drugs. There must be a gag there somewhere, but I can’t find it.
If there was any further proof needed that Klout’s metrics are primivite, primeval and pathetic, I’m waiting to hear it… or as my more earthy mates would say: Leave it out, Klout.
