More Twitter ListMates

By: Jeff Clark    Date: Mon, 16 Nov 2009

In Twitter ListMates I introduced a name for the idea of people who are often grouped together on Twitter lists. The idea has value because listmates have been grouped together by multiple people who independently decided that those accounts are similar in some sense. Doing this type of analysis starting from my account, JeffClark, helped me find new people to follow.

I have repeated the process for four other accounts to try and confirm that this technique is indeed useful. The results are shown below.

For Robert Scoble (scobleizer) we get:
  1. guykawasaki
  2. mashable
  3. techcrunch
  4. kevinrose
  5. leolaporte
  6. jason
  7. chrisbrogan
  8. google
  9. veronica
  10. timoreilly
