An OKC Conference You’ll Love – And I Can Prove It!

I thought it might be fun to compile a database of everybody who follows this year’s Confluence speakers on Twitter.  Elsewhere I also blogged about who is followed by the most Confluence speakers.

Collectively our 11 speakers have nearly 80,000 followers, about 7000 followers per speaker (I’m really holding us back).

I used Followerwonk to pull the raw data and a spreadsheet to create the definitive list of who follows the most Confluence 2013 speakers.

Who are you?

Following 9 Confluence Speakers:

Keep it Local OK – well they are all about the best local spots. Maybe we should offer a Keep It Local discount to attendees next year?
