This was great education. Thank you very much. You took the time to test and the time to share. NOt all of us have the time to do what you did, but I know many that will appreciate the findings of your succinct study.

Thanx again

[…] Twitter Grader is a twitter ranking tool that grades your profile based on a number of factors and gives you a grade on a scale of 1–100, as well as a global rank in proportion to the rest of users. It is a fun tool that allows you to see just how “elite” your twitter profile is. I have done extensive blogging on this tool here: (1,2,3,4) […]

Kenny — check out this interesting tweep: http://twitter.com/uncle_bob

He’s following 353, w/ 190 followers, and only 63 updates. Grade = 84.

I think you’re right about the updates-to-followers ratio.

PEACE

Heh, thanks Dharmesh!

There’s always tweaking when an algorithm is involved!

I look forward to updates and seeing how things evolve!

Thanks for the thorough analysis of the Twitter Grader algorithm.

We’re still tweaking the algorithm (and clearly, still have some work to do).

ahhhh! Nicely done my friend. Nicely done. We’ll have to see if Twitter rank actually ever amounts to anything. Either way, it proves that we’ll go to extensive lengths even for imaginary points — hehe… Thanks for the post man!

ps: could you change my anchor text to “Santa Barbara Wedding Photographer”? Thanks. HAHA!
