The 1,026 geekiest Twitterers (for #FollowFriday)
For the past three weeks I've been reading thousands of Tweets so you don't have to. I click "favorite" on the best ones. That's more than 2,000 different faves in the past few weeks: almost all of them geeky in some way.
I'm following about 2,500 Twitter accounts now, which include most of the most interesting technology industry executives, influentials, bloggers, and evangelists. Thanks to Favstar.fm, a service that tracks Twitter favorites, I now can see which people I have faved the most.
Let's look at the top few:
#1. TechCrunch, with 44 faves.
