	peanut4:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 18:21 GMT	15 points
	Well at least I got the bonus, even if I only got five others.

	Sporcle is going to rise to the top swiftly - I am sure of it

	This quiz could also be called: A list of people I do not care about.

	Brooklyn_Girl:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 18:32 GMT	8 points
	I think I'm the only person in the world that has no idea what Twitter is...

	Is that the same Evan Williams as the bourbon brand? If so, what a versatile man! ;)

	Kicking222:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 18:55 GMT	-2 points
	Let's face facts: I created this quiz solely to get Sporcle's Twitter numbers up. (Not really.) I hope everyone likes this one- I thought it was a pretty cool topic. And great job by the Sporcle gods on updating this thing- when I created it a few days ago, 50 Cent was in the top 25... not that I'm sad he fell off the list. And @Mike, I don't think it's possible to care about nobody on the list. Personally, I have no interest in Britney or Ellen or Coldplay, but Shaq is my favorite athlete, and I read the Times every day.

	how about stephen fry????!!!!

	milkmeister:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 19:43 GMT	5 points
	@jack. stephen fry has over half a million followers, but not enough to make the list. I think maybe he is the highest UK "followee". I certainly tried him first as I remember the news story!

	Peanut:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 19:59 GMT	7 points
	God I don't understand what the hell Twitter is useful for... except revolution :S

	IWANTMY2DOLLARS:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 20:01 GMT	6 points
	The only list Ashton Kutcher should be at the top of is a list of people we'd like to see go away.

	zalagreensbury:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 20:05 GMT	-2 points
	Oh, so what now everyone's so pro-twitter until I talk crap about it? give me a break.

	Feelingroovy:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 20:05 GMT	9 points
	who gives a tweet?

	TheImpalerTMX:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 20:24 GMT	11 points
	I've thought about making a Twitter account with the sole purpose of documenting me going to the bathroom. You get the update before, after, and once in a while as a special treat, during. Too bad that I'm so apathetic towards Twitter that I can't even be bothered to make a joke/gimmick account.

	Kicking222:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 21:05 GMT	2 points
	To be honest, I'm with you, Impaler. (Not about the pooping thing, though actually, my friend IMed me yesterday to say he was thinking of doing just that.) I'm completely indifferent about Twitter- I have an account so I can follow a few people, but I've never posted a tweet, and I'm never going to. I made the quiz because I thought it was an interesting topic, not because it was a topic I legitimately cared about.

	The Onion could teach the worlds newspapers how to transition successfully to digital media.

	Only one I knew was Lance Armstrong, and that's only because they mentioned it every day during the Giro d'Italia. Twitter is incredibly pointless.
