Having a lot of followers and being an influential tweeter are not necessarily synonymous. In addition, you can be extremely influential on some topics and not on others. Recognizing this, pulseofthetweeters.com has begun ranking the ‘most influential’ tweeters on various high trending topics. They use the following criteria for establishing their rankings:
- Highly ranked tweeters should be followed by multiple users.
- Highly ranked tweeters should express sufficient interest in the trend.
- The persons following a highly-ranked user should also be interested in the trend.
Topsy is another site that provides tweet rankings by influence. When you eliminate news sources, you might be surprised to find out who the ‘influencers’ truly are on some of the trending topics.
- @doritos- Cheetos, Doritos, or Lays? none of them, I’m a Pringles girl! says McCainBlogette ranked number one influential tweeter on the subject. Looks like Doritos needs to find a way to fit into a nice neat snack to transfer her influence from negative to positive.
