Top 20 Most Followed People on Twitter

Today I was wondering who the most followed people on Twitter were. So like anybody that wants to know any random piece of information I Googled most followed people on Twitter. According to twittercounter.com the top 20 goes like this:

1. Lady Gaga 28,711,416
2. Justin Bieber 27,029,339
3. Katy Perry 25,496,617
4. Rihanna 24,686,886
5. Brittany Spears 19,732,421
6. Barack Obama 18,846,715
7. Shakira 17,934,137
8. Taylor Swift 17,778,950
9. Kim Kardashian 15,939,072
10. YouTube 15,504,177
11. Nicki Minaj 14,267,554
12. Oprah Winfrey 13,451,345
13. Justin Timberlake 13,450,016
14. Ellen DeGeneres 13,099,380
15. Twitter 12,773,515
16. Cristiano Ronaldo 12,600,021
17. Selena Gomez 12,433,297
18. Kaka 12,390,649
19. Marshal Mathers 12,126,929
20. Ashton Kutcher 11,996,321
Overall I found this list to be a little bit surprising quite frankly seeing as some of the people in the top 20 haven’t done anything in particular of not recently. Shakira is one in particular that really stands out to me because she hasn’t had a hit song in a long while. That being said I am glad that I now know the top 20 most followed.

Hummingbird Twitter Software

We recently found out that Hummingbird software is no longer available for sale.

Whatever happened to Hummingbird? The beloved software that took early twitter adopters by storm has now become extinct. The company who developed it, Mesiab Labs, moved on and asked all of us to do the same. Some threw a fit, no doubt some tears were shed, and of course an obnoxious few rejoiced. One thing is for sure, hummingbird paved the way for auto-following softwares far and wide.

Need a Good Hummingbird Alternative?

We recommend Tweetadder. It’s fast, well supported and reliable. It offers not only auto following features helping you to create an enormous twitter following fast, but also contains goodies like auto messaging, scheduled tweets, and multiple twitter account management.
