Geniaus: A bunch of Twits

So often other bloggers give me an idea for a blogging topic. This morning's post from Carole Riley on Carole's Canvas encouraged me to take a look at my top Twitter followers of 200 according to http://mytopfollowersin2010.com.

Following is the cloud it produced of my Top 200 followers.

Carole indicated that the followers listed on the tweet produced and tweeted via this option "This site gives you the option of tweeting a list of your top followers from this list" does not "correspond to the top followers on the list. " I just had to check this out and see if the tweet it produced of my top followers was similarly flawed.....and it is.

Geniaus' Top Followers in 2010 are: @historiancathyd @insidehistory @rakopittke @myheritage @sharnwhite.

The cynic in me put it down to "Lies, damned lies, and statistics" however I think it is probably as a result of human error. Whoever has done the programming for this tool has probably just made a simple mistake that has produced flawed results.

There is a separate button to tweet not results but a notice to your other followers to try it, although the wording is the same. If you look at your twitter timeline you'll see you have two tweets.; January 1, 2011 at 12:23 PM
