Update : The tool is not working. I suspect it has something to do with the new methods introduced by Klout where a call first needs to be made to get the KloutID from the Twitter name, then lookup on the Klout ID. Will keep you posted on any progress.
With the TopTwits listings I have been doing I thought it would be good to be able to get the Klout scores in there and see how that changes the rankings for the top users. I also would like to see if I take the #afcon2013 player list how their Klout scores come out. There is a lot of debate around the merits of Klout, I don’t really want to get into that, rather just interested in the correlations.
I had a look at the Klout API and was considering trying to write some excel code to get me the Klout scores so I can just pop it into my Access database. I googled around about to avoid duplicating effort when I found a Windows App which does exactly what I wanted.

You will need to go onto Klout and register for a developer key to get the app to work, but it is simple and does the job. It was a pain to find the app as googling for it produces and awful lot of junk above the app. Somehow I (luckily) managed to stumble across it, this post is simply to share that fortune and possibly assist others in finding this useful tool.
Thanks Wiggert of ISIZ Labs for sharing.
Oh, and if you download the tool and find it useful, just leave a not of thanks on Wiggert’s blog, I am sure he would appreciate it.
