The Bivings Report - powered by the Bivings Group

For the past two years of the Personal Democracy Forums, The Bivings Group's Twitterslurp tool has been used to track and analyze discussion about the conference that is taking place on Twitter.  One of the reasons the Twitterslurp has been so popular is the leaderboard feature, which lists the Twitter users that have tweeted the most.  At this year conference, in addition to listing the users who tweet the most, we also recorded how many times a users Twitter handle was mentioned by other users.   Below is the Twitterslurp leaderboard for 2010, reordered to list the 20 Twitter users who were mentioned the most by other users. Note that this data is as of 3:30 pm on Friday, June 4.  We'll update on Monday after the conference is over.
