Why would anyone care about their Klout score? Klout can be used to help better your Social Media Footprint so potential sponsors view you as an expert in your field.  According to an article in Technorati Klout has signed up over 2500 business's to provide upgrades, perks, freebies and other goodies to Klout users that have a higher number, generally over 50.  This gives the Work At Home Mom a more even playing field with the social media heavy hitters because they are frequently online connecting and engaging.
