The number of accounts of national (British -
approx. Translator ) newspapers on Twitter continues to grow, but at an increasingly slower pace. According to the latest
130 accounts I follow :
As of November 2, these 130 accounts had 1801811 followers, which means an increase of 137568 people compared with the data from October 1 (1664243 followers). In this increase, the largest share - 69% (95007 people) - was @guardiantech audience, which is automatically suggested by Twitter as potentially interesting.
(NB Telegraf newspaper renamed its @TelegraphScienc account, so this month I recalculated October numbers. At first I thought that the account was deleted, but then I downloaded the updated data.)
The highest growth was shown by the @MirrorFootball account, which rose by eleven positions to 81st place (from 455 following to 809). What gives us reason to believe that the Mirror newspaper (Mirror) has finally begun to use Twitter. Most of her accounts are at the bottom of the list, and it seems that the only reason for their growth was a one line shift associated with dropping the @TelegraphScienc account from the list.
