Using Scraperwiki, I analyzed the top project management tweeters for a month (March 15-April 14, 2014). I gathered tweets using the #pmot hashtag. Other hashtags such as #pm, #projectmanagement and #pmi are common but #pmot seems to be the standard for Project Management Online Tweets.
The overall stats for this 31-day period:
- 10,288 tweets in total
- 330 tweets per day on average
- 1,585 distinct Twitter screen names
The highest number of tweets, by far, was from @PMVault with 2,285 tweets, nearly 1,700 more than the second most. However, @PMVault just tweets job postings so it is useless for most PMs. I eliminated it from the rest of the analysis.
The rest of the top 10 looks like this:
