How important are you on Twitter?

Andrew Bruce Smith has blogged about Twitter Grader an interesting little tool that “measures the relative power of a Twitter user”:

Your grade is calculated using a combination of factors including:
* The number of followers you have
* The power of this network of followers
* The pace of your updates
* The completeness of your profile
* …a few others.

For the record I score 92 which means I score higher than 92 percent of the other user profiles that have been graded.

Here are the scores of some others you might know (with the hacks beating flacks almost every time!):

• Mike Butcher Grade: 99.2 - Rank #271
• Jemima Kiss Grade: 99.1 - Rank #326
• Stuart Bruce Grade: 92 - Rank #2,525
• David Brain Grade: 92 - Rank #2,557
• Tom Watson MP: Grade: 87 - Rank #4,085
• Guy Clapperton Grade: 67 - Rank #10,597

But we’re all crushed by the steamroller that is Barack Obama on Grade: 100.0 - Rank #2.
