Who has the most Twitter followers in Bermuda?

It was like kicking a  hornets nest.

Last Friday’s list of the Top 35 Twitter Accounts in Bermuda, which was composed by Twitaholic, certainly had tweets flying.

A lot of people had their feathers ruffled that they did not make the list as they had more Twitter followers than some who were on it. That list took other factors into account.

Included among that group were a couple of my colleagues here at work.

As far as sheer numbers, the Twitaholic list was way off. There are several reasons for that, some people have their location set incorrectly while others have more worldwide appeal and have opted for a location that will attract a wider audience.

Added to that is Twitaholic’s Bermuda list was missing some people it was counting elsewhere.

Nahki Wells

Some of the most obvious omissions from the list where Bermudian athletes who are competing overseas. Nahki Wells being the prime example with over 13,000 Twitter followers, but others like Tyler Butterfield, Tyrone Smith, and Reggie Lambe also went missing.

Hotels were another category which saw several big accounts not make the Twitaholic compilation. Included on the ones that were omitted were both the Fairmont hotels as well as Elbow Beach and Rosewood Tucker’s Point.

Three of Bermuda’s accounts with the most followers were not on that list, and those include Dudley Freedom (51,226 followers), Wonder Woman (24,493 followers) and Elbow Beach Cycles (16,347). 

Even our friends down the road on Par-la-ville — The Royal Gazette was MIA on the Twitaholic list. 

Several radio stations and DJs were also omissions, if you based it strictly on followers.

Not easy

The list below is a compilation of the top 50 accounts at the end of November. 

There is no easy one-stop spot for the Bermuda accounts for several reasons so there could be some that are missing that should be on the list. 

Please contact me via Twitter and I’ll add you for the next list, which will be done in January. 

That will, hopefully, make that list more accurate. We will aim to do a monthly list for all of 2014.
