Who has the most twitter followers in lichfield ?
Posted by Chris on January 26th, 2012Well I do – but then again I don’t – according to the applications that tell you who has the most Twitter followers in e.g. Lichfield or Birmingham or London or the World – like Twitter Elite

and Twitaholic
http://twitaholic.com/top100/followers/bylocation/Lichfield,+Staffordshire,+West/
I do, in that if you look here

I have a Tweet Grade of 97.4 and ( currently ) 2,278 followers but I don’t appear on the list ( at the time of writing ) produced by Tweet Grader in the first link that I detailed above. Philip John has that honour currently. ( philipjohn )
Out of interest the person who has the most followers in Birmingham
http://tweet.grader.com/location/?Location=birmingham%2CUK
is an 18 year old Economics student called Aluna Sagita Gutawa with over 1.1 Million followers !!!! ( How ?? Why ?? )
Philip and I have never met ( to my knowledge ) but he and I do have a common interest in WordPress blogs it seems. ( Where I am writing this ).
Does it matter ????
Well actually the number of followers ( like e.g. the number of Facebook likes or the number of email addresses ) does actually have a monetary value, small though it may be. ( For example I recently heard the co-founder of U.S. based start-up Twylah talk about a dollar value for the number of email addresses something was emailed to ).
What does matter is visibility on the Internet and being found on the Internet via search engines like Google.
Tweets are also being turned into website pages that can attract ” traffic ” ( visitors and users ) and rank on Google. Here is my Twylah page for example:

( Twylah is in beta at the moment so you have to request a Twylah page )
If you don’t think being a Tweep is very interesting then you might find being a ” Twyp ” of more value 😉
You might not think very much of Lady GaGa either but she is a ” Twyp ”

along with a whole host of other celebrities

GaGa’s ephemeral Tweets have been turned into a much longer lasting web page ( with the invitation to download her music ).
Translated into something that might interest the average Lichfieldian ?? well it’s another way of getting ( global ) visibility for your Lichfield based business.
Connecting with and communicating with people is important and so is being found.
