Missing Out? Here’s a list of some of the most-followed on Twitter.

Should you be paying attention to the most-followed on Twitter?

Some people use Twitter to connect with family and friends, but for most us, that’s not the case. We’re more likely to use Facebook or Instagram for that.

Most people use Twitter instead to get news, follow sports, follow celebrities, and follow brands. Most people don’t themselves do any “tweeting”.

Celebrities like Justin Bieber and Katy Perry are among the most popular on Twitter. The most popular on Twitter for news sites are CNN, CNN Breaking news, SportsCenter, The New York Times, BBC News, BBC Breaking News, and the Economist.

Barak Obama and Bill Gates are the most popular on Twitter for non-entertainment celebrities. Most popular Twitter organizations (non-sports) include NASA and TED Talks. Most popular Twitter companies are YouTube, Twitter itself, Instagram, Vine, Google, and Facebook.

Pat was a patient problem solver and I'm much happier with the organization of our iTunes Library now. If you want an IT expert who listens well and responds to your needs, I highly recommend her.
