Methodology:

The key is to understand how other people respond to a tweeter. Your rating is a function of other people’s assessments. This process, a bit like voting, is harder for a single individual to ‘game’. Each person is then assigned a Scotland π-score (SPi-score) from 1 to 100. The Scotland π-score is an influence score in the context of the Scottish Twittersphere.
For this research, we focussed only on whether other people in Scotland were responding to, retweeting or engaging with a tweeter. So having loads of fans in the US doesn’t necessarily help your influence score here.
Our maths also assesses who the people engaging with an influencer are. So a retweet from someone highly influential is worth more than a retweet from an average person. The number of followers does not factor in the weighting.
We crunched around 10bn tweets and looked at more than 220m accounts on Twitter to generate this list.
We did a couple of small pieces of editorialisation:
  • We excluded all corporate and brand accounts, such as newspapers.
  • We excluded parody accounts.
  • We manually added fewer than 50 particularly famous Scottish tweeters not currently living there to the initial community.
  • Tweeters had to be active in the 30 days to Aug 31st. If you weren’t active during this time you were eliminated.
