Klout, the popular site for measuring a person’s online social media influence, released a Chrome extension that allows you to view people’s Klout score within the Twitter interface.

The extension adds a persons Klout score within their tweet when looking at your Twitter timeline.

This is a great tools for all you Klout lovers and for those are trying to strategically choose who you retweet to build your personal and professional brand.

If you’re trying to align yourself with thought leaders in your industry, I would suggest installing the Klout extension and using it to find those influential people and bloggers, follow them, and retweet their messages.

The Chrome extension (still in beta phase) can be downloaded in the Chrome store for free (download it HERE).
