You are correctly looking at followers, FWIW.  But do you have any measure of "reads" and how "reads" may influence the market?  Do you think that those posters with no followers are posting for nothing when they understand that they have no followers?

Dunno, I'm no techie.  And as I said, I'm not "into" Twitter.  I was only reporting an increase in observed pumping there.  Make of it what you will.
