Changes in position and score are since February’s figures, and the same caveats apply as before to these numbers from TweetLevel (i.e. Twitter isn’t the only thing in the world, and this isn’t the only way of measuring people’s influence on / use of Twitter):

I get a score of 48.
But as with last time, this list requires the caveat that because tweetlevel only measures twitter accounts at the time you look at it, it is impossible to generate a completely accurate list of comparison between them.
For example, Nick Clegg has already shifted to 56.
So can I take you’ve decided not to run the kind of important ORG article that got prodded your way earlier today then? Do we really need over an hour’s clear water above a post about Twitter ratings?
James: it was partly to see how volatile the scores are that I decided to do this again (and will carry on until the general election). So far it looks to me like the significant changes in numbers do seem to reflect changes in how people are using Twitter, but changes of +/- one or two points are pretty much noise that don’t signify much. Much like opinion polls 🙂
Alix: LDV operates much the same way as when you were on the team; i.e. we don’t have an army of full time people sat at keyboard ready to leap in and write a new story at any given moment. Boring things like working at day job still exist 🙂 This post was scheduled in advance anyway, so you’re reading way too much into things.
Ok, I understand that up to the point where you say “This post was scheduled in advance anyway”. I thought (from ORG’s twitter) that they’d only written it this morning. I may well have misunderstood. If I did, and you already had the post, may I ask why it was not scheduled for earlier, given that the vote in question happens today and there is a certain amount of urgency?
It’s not really a ‘post’ that I’ve had from them (so far): more like a short email with links. Have asked for post, so if that arrives in time… else we’ll cover this issue in a ‘post-match’ report (though not really post-match bearing in mind the Bill still has quite a lot of steps and votes to go through).
I’ve just checked I score 52. So if I get elected later this year does that mean me and Jo get to chose which portfolios we get in the Lib Dem Government?
