Yesterday two of Twitter accounts I control got mentioned in ReadWriteWeb article 50+ Semantic Web Pros to Follow on Twitter. That’s @zemanta (my company’s account) and @gandalfar (personal twitter).

This allowed me to measure how many new followers I would get as a consequence of this story. Today TweetDeck told me for my personal account:

TweetDeck followers counter

(On quiet days when I’m at home I normally get one or two new followers a day)

What’s more interesting is that of these ~50 people most of them also followed the other account as if they’ve added all of the 50 people on the list.

Anyone else got any experience with having such a rush of new followers?
