Following and being followed on Twitter

by Jonathan Trenn on February 27, 2008 · 0 comments

Twitter has put out some interesting stats up on their blog. Trying to make sense of it.

Firsat of all, I must be hanging with some pretty connected people. I’ve got, as of this writing, 228 followers and I follow 277 people. And most of the people I’m connected to are more connected than I am.

But apparently, the average person on Twitter follows and is followed by around people. of course, this isn’t the best gauge – a lot of people join, follow one or two people and then never tweet. So the stats below aren’t really an strict indicator of involvement of those that are active. But nevertheless, it shows how loose hubs of people with common interests congregate.Followers/Following on Twitter GraphOne note here. It seems that most have more followers than they follow. That surprises me a bit. It seems easier to initially follow that to return the favor.
