I could not find a retweet to anything that I had to say on twitter. I just did not add a lot of content that was very interesting. I am not a digital native and I have been fine for years just interacting only on Facebook with friends and family. I never even heard of Klout.com and had other social media accounts opened but I never used them. I am not a very social media engager. I felt that I should get to know more about it which I have throughout the course of this class and I will take the information I have learned and slowly expand it to help in my future.
The post that received virtually no activity at all was in the very beginning of the class and I was setting up all my social media accounts, and this included Klout.com. The tweet itself was more of a personal announcement and really left any reason to engage it further. It simply stated Steven Smith @actioncompman I just connected my @klout account with Google plus.

The post that received the most activity on Twitter was the video about President George W. Bush. It was during the ALS ice bucket challenge and is funny to watch. I show the power that the challenge had on people. The fact that the president was challenged and perform the challenge shows the reach that this challenge had. Not only did average everyday people get involved but celebrities and yes even the former President of the United States.

When I started this class I had like three followers and I followed about the same. Since the class I now have twenty followers and most of them are from our online social media account. I learned how to make lists and make it easier to engage with fellow student through Twitter. I am still a novice at all of this but I now have a framework to get better.
It seems that during the initial activity my Klout score rose to a high of 53.75. I think this was due to all the activity in setting up my accounts and linking them to Klout. I also put up some information about myself and my family added photos and such. I then was engaged throughout the class in various tweets and post from fellow classmates. My Klout score slowly declined ending with a 43.24. I am not sure what the average would be for someone such as myself who is not very active on social media. I did find it interesting that there was a service to track your social presence.
