What is the number in parentheses beside usernames?

I'm still new to Steemit and still learning a lot, but I have noticed that usernames now have a number in parentheses  beside them. For example, mine says brendio (1). 

Just wondering, what does the number mean? I can't seem to find info on it.

Now it has changed to (2) for me. Is it a post count? I see some people with negative numbers though.

See the comments below: it is a measure of reputation based on votes your posts receive. You start in the 20s (they rescaled it since this post). If you receive upvotes from higher rep users it increases your score. Down votes decrease it. Spammers with lots of downvotes and negative rep have posts hidden by default. 

In other news, I have now been on Steemit for a year. This was me learning the system. There's lots to learn, but people are generally quite helpful.

Thanks so much. I was wondering the same thing. I just joined yesterday and I’m up to 30. I couldn’t figure out what the heck it meant.
