Want to know about Andrew Bolt? Ask an expert. Ask Bill Shorten.

Klout is a great tool for keeping score of who’s influential on social media (if you find yourself inexplicably within the subset of people who care about such things).

Klout even tells you the topics in which people are experts.

Take Labor leader Bill Shorten. Among his expert topics according to Klout: right wing columnist Andrew Bolt.

According to Klout, Shorten is in the top 0.2% of social media users who talk about Bolt.

Cheerfully, Klout suggests giving the opposition leader a pat on the head for this, urging users: “Congratulate Bill Shorten on his topical expertise”.

No doubt he’d love that.
