Although the significance of this variable is often over hyped, in most media industries it's still the most important metric. Consider that no ad salesman pitches the volume of content featured on their site -- instead they focus entirely upon the number of users or pageviews. Which Twitterers (top 10) have the most followers? Interesting that you consider the number of tweets posted per user a meaningful metric, but don’t note which users have the most followers.

Neilson and compete.com have actually shown similar numbers. Calgary is trending similarly to the rest of the Twittersphere/verse. http://i.friendfeed.com/64dae59b02759a6d311e5b33b4265441d6a793b4 Great research! Thanks.
