Hard to believe that someone is willing to pay $200 million for Klout. Maybe, I am missing something?

Just for fun, a year back, I made a simple Klout clone which was dependent on just Google search results, twitter followers, retweets and total number of tweets. I used a few known Klout scores as the seed data and generated a simple Heuristic to calculate Klout scores. I then tested it with around 100 celebs and regular people. The scores were remarkably similar to Klout's actual scores.

What were the (Lithium Technologies) VC's thinking?

Hopefully this was purely an acquihire and the product is being shitcanned.
