Bermuda’s Top 50 Twitter List For January

February 9, 2015

[Written by Don Burgess] Inactive accounts are a reality with Twitter. Last year Business Insider did a report that only 25 percent of accounts are logged into at least once a month.

The Bermuda Top 50 Twitter List is no stranger to this. The Bermuda Sun’s account is like a falling satellite as it slowly makes its way downward. It was as high as 14 and has now slipped to 24, but with 6,755 followers it is going to take years before it drops out of the top 50.

Finally disappearing from the top 50 list this month is UmUm_Magazine, which hasn’t published for years and just outside the top 50 there is an account belonging to a dead person.

Twitter will deactivate a deceased user’s account, but they need a copy of the person’s death certificate mailed to their office in San Francisco, a link to the online obituary as well as several other pieces of information. For most people, it isn’t worth the bother.

Among Bermuda’s active accounts, the only change in the Top 10 was Ledrew Fox slipping past Fiyah Marshall into fourth. John Layfield, Dudley Freedom and Collie Buddz continue to hold down the top three spots without any real changes.

News of Bermuda had a good month and moved up the list to 31st with the addition of more than 1,000 followers.

Just outside the top 50, Claire Hattie’s Nothing to Do In Bermuda account [@NTDIBermuda] and DJIBreeze [@djiBreeze_DTP], the self-proclaimed ‘Bermuda’s hardest working DJ’, both reached 2,000 followers.

The numbers for this report was taken the weekend of January 30-31.

If you have a Twitter following of more than 2,050 and were not on this list, please e-mail Don Burgess at dburgesspb@gmail.com. Anyone who wants to know their ranking and has at least 1,000 followers can tweet me @DonBermuda.

I will also be starting an Instagram list in the coming months. If you have more than 500 followers, e-mail me and put Instagram in the subject.
