How important are you to your Twitter followers?

Ever wonder how many people on Twitter would recommend you if given the chance? Now that Twitter lists are here I decided to find out.

I calculated "popularity" by dividing the number of lists an account was on by the number of followers it has. Those shown first have been placed on the most lists as a percentage of their total followers. (The two highlighted accounts are two of my Twitter accounts).

I tried to compare a variety of types of accounts, using the Twitalyzer 100 list and some well-known names in different industries as a source.

What's YOUR Twitter ratio?

  1. Cool! Very good amount of research there. Twitter_tips rules!

    At the moment, mine's like 1.05%. I have no idea if that's a good thing or bad...

  2. I am @FederalSandbox. I have just under 1400 followers and have been listed 18 times so far which would would put me at 1.29% and into the top 25% of the sample list above. Hope to build on it, but it sounds good to me!
