Twitter celebrity chart – 6th March 2009

March 6, 2009 by Mike Teasdale

Not much movement on the celebrity top twenty this week, so here’s a quick list of people who are bubbling under. In reverse order we have Richard Madeley (3,655), Iain Lee (5,548), Andy Murray (10,930), Graham Linehan (10,981), Jane Goldman (11,518), Phil Jupitus (12,049), Danny Wallace (14,873), Dave Gorman (15,422), Ewan McGregor (17,386) and Eddie Izzard (18,640).

I guess that I could grow the list up to a top thirty, but I can’t really be bothered!  If I get a quiet weekend, I might try to automate this – how hard can it be??

At current rates of growth, I think that Coldplay will knock Stephen Fry off the top of the charts in a couple of weeks.
