Looking at followers with an alternative...
As blogged on Tuesday, the findings of the report we published on Monday are based on several metrics and not follower numbers alone - we feel that this metric alone doesn’t say much, and mentions and retweets are a better barometer of both reach and influence.

On followers, Boris Johnson & lists
Yesterday we published a report on Twitter & UK politics. We were overwhelmed by the feedback, coverage and debate that it sparked - so thank you to all the contributed. We thought it would be helpful to address some of the most frequent points of feedback: 1) Number of followers alone don’t reflect influence.
