    OMG! This is SO neat! Super clever, loves it! I swear, you never cease to amaze me :)

    Interesting, have you seen this? http://danzarrella.com/rtm-most.php
  • saurabhsahni · 11 months ago
    Sweet, you have ranking for last hour, day and week as well :)
  • iankennedy · 11 months ago
    Cool little hack. You could add a greasemonkey script to add a quick look up on any twitter profile page.
  • saurabhsahni · 11 months ago
    Sounds awesome, will add it soon!
  • kcmani · 11 months ago

    When someone retweets a retweet, does that count toward the original tweeter, the first retweeter, or both?
  • saurabhsahni · 11 months ago
    It counts as a retweet for both.
  • Brent · 11 months ago
    What is the timeframe being used for this data...1 day, past 30 days, 60 days, or more? Interesting app.
  • saurabhsahni · 11 months ago
    Brent: Ranking is based on the timeframe in which last 100 retweets arrived. Smaller is the timeframe, better is your rank. In case there are fewer retweets for a user, number of retweets account for the rank.

    This is interesting and useful. What I have noticed since I started checking it is that some people retweet using (via @joeschmitt) but that those retweets don't show up here. Any thought of adding that to the counts? Doesn't matter much to me and the jokes I tweet, but would think the people who write to be retweeted are missing a few.
  • saurabhsahni · 10 months ago
    Thanks Joe. Will try to get "via @" in soon. I have seen a few more tweets for the same.

    So why do several people have the same rank? (1001)
  • michelle sheiman · 6 months ago
    You measuring an absolute number of retweets, right?

    It would be another useful piece of information to know percentages: what % of a Twitter User's tweets are re-tweeted. That would give a different leader board.

    It also would be useful to know the number of a user's retweets relative to the number of their followers. That stat would show whether the appropriate target audience was following the Twitterer and if the content was relevant to that targeted audience.

    Thanks!

    Great tool.
  • saurabhsahni · 5 months ago
    Right, this is through absolute number of recent retweets. I appreciate your suggestions. These updates will make it more useful.
  • card · 6 months ago
    My rank is very low...
  • saurabhsahni · 5 months ago
    Even mine :P
    Use it to find people you would like to follow :)
  • crvenk · 4 months ago
    Amazing stuff.
  • philgo20 · 3 months ago
    I like the tool. Very useful, but it would be even more useful if we could get normalized value from 0-100 (not the percentile) based on the rank relative to total number of ranked users.

  • saurabhsahni · 3 months ago
    Thanks Philippe for the review. I like your suggestion. Will keep in mind if i release a v2.
  • Nyko Ongawa · 4 weeks ago
    This doesn't really tell me anything. What percentile is the top? Since my rank is in the 2000's does that mean I'm higher than most?
  • saurabhsahni · 4 weeks ago
    Nyko, You are a rockstar! 100%ile is the best. Your rank is better than 99.61% of twitter users!
