At 4 p.m. ET (1 p.m. PT) tomorrow, Jan. 12, streaming live exclusively on Mashable, Klout founder Joe Fernandez will be answering questions from readers. As part of the Young Entrepreneur Council’s new program called YEC Global, Fernandez will be answering questions live via video chat broadcast exclusively on this site.
Joe Fernandez is the Founder and CEO of Klout. While his jaw was wired shut for nearly three months after surgery, Joe began to develop a deep fascination with the evolution of influence on the social web. The way individuals could instantly broadcast questions, opinions, and ideas to their trusted network sparked his curiosity. In 2008, Joe started Klout in an effort to help businesses understand this individual user impact and provide context around who a person influences and what topics he or she is particularly influential in. Klout is currently the standard for influence on the social web. Joe grew up in Las Vegas and attended the University of Miami and Oxford University.
