November 2014

2. methodology
Only CHEMA (Council of Higher Education Management
Associations) member assertions were used.
Associations are ranked by Klout scores, followed by Twitalyzer
Impact scores in the event of a tie.
Klout is intended to measure influence. Klout scores are out of 100
and are more difficult to raise as the score gets higher. One limitation
of this measure is that it can include more than just an organization’s
Twitter account in calculating its score (may include Facebook,
Instagram, etc.). Also the algorithm is proprietary. Klout states:
The majority of the signals used to calculate the Klout Score are derived from
combinations of attributes, such as the ratio of reactions you generate compared to the
amount of content you share. For example, generating 100 retweets from 10 tweets will
contribute more to your Score than generating 100 retweets from 1,000 tweets. We also
consider factors such as how selective the people who interact with your content are. The
more a person likes and retweets in a given day, the less each of those individual
interactions contributes to another person's Score. Additionally, we value the engagement
you drive from unique individuals. One-hundred retweets from 100 different people
contribute more to your Score than do 100 retweets from a single person.
