Twitter isn’t a popularity contest. A tweep might have a ton of followers, but this is not necessarily a measure of his influence. How an individual behaves and interacts within the community is a better indicator of how influential he might be.
To illustrate this point, here’s two lists. The one of the left is list of tweeps with the most followers and is based on Twitter Grader scores. The one on the right uses TweetLevel’s Twitter influence score.
| Twitter Popularity (Grader) |
Twitter Influence (TweetLevel) |
| @robertcurrey (100%) | @sherrilynne (54.9) |
| @sherrilynne (99.5%) | @purplecatcorner (52.9) |
| @beckiicruel (99.1%) | @moogc (51.7) |
| @OwenC (98.1%) | @alansuspect (50.4) |
| @manxiefi (97.8%) | @OwenC (49.8) |
| @lottieb (96.8%) | @lalalambrit (49.7) |
| @anglawrence (95.9%) | @robertcurrey (48.7) |
| @lalalambrit (95.1%) | @beckiicruel (43.5) |
| @steveburdett (94%) | @programx (42.6) |
| @purplecatcorner (94%) | @anglawrence (40.5) |

Nice to make the popularity list, now just need to convert that into influence…
I see Twitter has been voted like the 3rd best invention of the past decade too. Great to be part of it.
Well done Beckii Cruel too, championing the island.
Steve you actually inspired this blog post. It came from the discussion we had at Tuesday’s meeting..what you said about avoiding Facebook.
Here’s an interesting one that I missed. @yngling has a Twitter Grader popularity score of only 89% but a TweetLevel influence score of 47. That makes him actually number 39th in popularity, but 8th in terms of ‘importance’.
…what can i say, it’s important that people hate me
Thought I would check mine today out of darned curiosity. My Twitter Grade was 91% and my Tweet Level was 41…
I’ll have to re run this exercise in a few months to see how the picture changes.
