This list is surprising. Really shocked to see Angela Simmons at number 1. I would have gone with Alicia Keys or Rihanna for that one. Thanks for the interesting info.
TAoC, Right I didn't even know these folks were on twitter let alone follow them and to think how much power (followers) they have.

The funny thing. I don't follow not a one of these. I just stopped following Tyra...but glad to see this list.
@Tonia, I had to repub your comment.
And yeah, I thought about following Tyra...

I say the most powerful people on Twitter correspond with their followers.
Seems like a lot of celebs on correspond with other celebs.
Tafari, Bam, there you have it. I thought twitter was about conversation, dare I say relationships, even at 140 letters or less. These ratios look a little like ice queens and minions. But I'm sure their numbers look great to some algorithm. Also the sycophantic nature of american, they tweet we flock. "Luv them new shoes MaryJ, you my gurl."
