Not that you got ranked 4 on that list (you couldn't take down Queen Rania? or the Google girl with only 7 tweets? really?) but rather at your use of links in text. Strong work Game.<br /><br />I hereby demand that we come up with a formalized system for determining Twitter dominance. I think followers is a good starting point - Oprah wins with 2 million. Maybe followers + retweets is the way to go. You need to be followed AND have an influence on the community. Can we calculate that somehow? That girl cannot be in second place with 4,700 followers and 7 tweets, it's impossible.Roycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09026696036192099488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469264630957046565.post-82982884628422819072010-01-12T12:39:46.382-08:002010-01-12T12:39:46.382-08:00I'm surprised Pizza Hut didn't make the li...I'm surprised Pizza Hut didn't make the list.
