At the time of writing this post, I’m now following 739 Twitter accounts or my “tweeps” as it were.

Thanks to Formulists, there is a default option where it lists people who are most followed by the people you follow. Here then are the top 20 twitter accounts my tweeps follow in descending order:

20. DoctorKarl – Followed by at least 160 (22%) of my tweeps.
19. MyfWarhurst – Followed by at least 165 (22%) of my tweeps.
18. stilgherrian – Followed by at least 165 (22%) of my tweeps.
17. joshthomas87 – Followed by at least 167 (23%) of my tweeps.
16. twitter – Followed by at least 170 (23%) of my tweeps.

3. DHughesy – Followed by at least 246 (33%) of my tweeps.
2. JuliaGillard – Followed by at least 267 (36%) of my tweeps.

and the most popular Twitterer followed by my tweeps is:

1. stephenfry – Followed by at least 312 (42%) of my tweeps.

Interesting to see the majority of Twitter accounts followed are Australian based (with a couple of Melbourne focused ones) and a mixture of news, political and comedy accounts. Best thing of all, no SMEGs in sight.

You have good tastes my tweeps. What else have you noticed about this list?

Perhaps the most interesting thing about finding the screenshot of your iPhone from over 18 months ago is that, overall, not much has changed since then. I haven’t changed the placement of apps and iOS 4 has some noticeable tweaks here and there. Twitter push notification and RSS feed apps have been (re)moved and I’ve even replaced some of Apple’s stock apps with others. The 3rd party apps that populate the first page of my iPhone now are:

Imagine my little giddy moment when I heard Marco Arment read out my email on 5by5‘s Bulid & Analyze. I sent the email in response to a previous episode which talked about finding out how much you’re worth in the workforce. Although my suggestion of seeing a job recruiter’s website to see their salary guides was met with negative comments and opinion, both Marco and Dan Benjamin had some great points. Was again excited when I heard Merlin Mann discuss the topic of “agency” after hearing this same episode.

Funny what one email can do.
