Bermuda’s Top 50 Twitter List For February
[Written by Don Burgess]
Maybe all the excitement from the Cricket World Cup has helped, but the Bermuda Cricket Board gained several hundred followers this month.
It is the first time the Cricket Board has appeared in the Bermuda Top 50 Twitter List. Rejoining the Top 50 List is Digicel, who moves in at #47.
They replace triathlete Flora Duffy and entertainer Joanne Ball-Burgess who dropped to 53rd and 54th respectively.
There were no changes in the top 20 as everyone held their position, but two milestones were reached. The ACE Group passed the 10,000th follower mark and Fox Commentator and former WWE champ John Layfield pinned down his 600,000th follower.
The top five remain Mr Layfield, Dudley Freedom, Collie Buddz, Ledrew Fox and Fiyah Marshall.
Bermuda News and Gideon Kigotho both had good gains and moved up several spots in the rankings.
If you are interested in building your follower base, and by that I mean not buying followers, there are several social media experts you can follow to give valuable tips. Five that are in Stat Social’s Top 20 Social Media Power Influencers List that give advice that I follow are Kim Garst, Ann Tran, Ted Coine, Jeff Bullas and Ted Rubin. You won’t go wrong listening to any of them on Twitter or on their blogs.
The numbers for this report was taken the week of February 26-28.
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.
