Our twittastic robots scan the Twitter public timeline for new twits to tweet. A few times a day, we calculate individual statistics for each twittering twit in our database.
In other words.. WE"R IN UR TWTTR PAGES, READN UR STATZ
This list is being constantly updated so you can find out who the most popular twitter users are. To participate, do what you normally do -- twitter constantly -- if you deserve to be on the list, we'll find you. The most popular users on twitter are crawled every day, everyone else gets crawled randomly.
While microblogs are great, we are also fans of long-form content that is better suited for a traditional blog. The Blog Starter has a simple tutorial if you are looking to start a blog for free using WordPress.
