Top 5 Twitterers of Each Country in the World Based on Number of Followers

You probably have stumbled across the list of the “Top 3 Twitterers of Each Country in the World Based on Number of Followers” which has attracted thousands of readers at my previous blog few months ago. Today, I’d like to share with you guys a newly-updated list of the “Top 5 Twitterers of Each Country in the World Based on Number of Followers”. Hope you can share this wonderful list on Twitter, Digg or StumbleUpon!

Using information from Twitterholic, a service which tracks and ranks the Top 1000 twitterers based on the number of followers, I’ve compiled my own list of “Top 5 Twitterers of Each Country based on Number of Followers”.

Is this list exactly the same as Twitterholic?

Well, the answer is no! When you search the top followers based on a location for example UK on Twitterholic, what you see isn’t really correct. It’s because some people didn’t type in the word “UK” under the “location” section in their profiles, and they enter “London” instead. Hence, the system isn’t smart enough to detect that actually London is part of UK. So what I’ve done is that I’ve manually search for the top 5 twitterers in UK and included them in this list.

Before you proceed, do note these following points:

- all these numbers below aren’t live which means that it will change over time, so the ranking will be different

- there are 192 countries in the world according to the United Nations, but I’ll only include 53 countries as it seems that there are only a few Twitterers from Zimbabwe, Niger, Togo, etc.

- not all Twitter users shows where they’re from, hence the rankings might be incorrect
