The Top 20 Lib Dem Twitterers

Iain Dale did a list of the top 20 Labour and Conservative Twitterers this morning. I thought we Lib Dems deserved our own list for comparison. I went through the list of Twitter accounts listed on the "Tweets" page of the Lib Dem Blogs aggregator and pulled out the top 20 (in terms of followers).

Here we go:

1. Lib Dems 7,692

2. Nick Clegg 7,199

3. Jo Swinson 2,666

4. Vince Cable 2,399

5. Lynne Featherstone 2,226

6. Alan Belmore 2,030

7. Toran Shaw 1,607

8. Mark Pack 1,580

9. Lib Dem Voice 1,547

10. Phil Willis 1,359

11. Lembit Opik 1,301

12. Julia Goldsworthy 1,264

13. Susan Kramer 1,253

14. Jonathan Fryer 1,245

15. Will Howells 1,094

16. Andy Reeves 1,013

17. Graham Watson 985

18. Sandra Gidley 973

19. Mark Thompson 952

20. Norman Lamb 923

If you think you have been unjustly missed from this list please let me know and I will update it. If you aren't on the Lib Dem Blogs Twitter list then you won't be here so get yerself added!

As Mark Pack (or number 8 as he will henceforth be known) has already pointed out on Twitter, this is just purely based on follower numbers which is a debateable measure but I have stuck with the same method that Iain has used for comparative purposes.

UPDATE: Stephen Glenn has commented asking if he is in position 21 just outside the chart and indeed he is! This is becoming something of a meme with Stephen regularly just missing the cut in various charts so I thought I'd include a link to his twitter feed here to compensate for his rotten luck. He is definitely worth following!
