The list was created by identifying the five most popular Twitterers across the five different categories of entertainment, music, politics, sport and technology, giving each an influence rating out of 100.

Their relative influence was then measured by exploring:

* The number of ‘tweets’ they send
* The number of times they ‘re-tweet’ others’ updates
* The number of times that person’s updates have been ‘re-tweeted’
* The number of times they are referenced in other people’s ‘tweets’
