		<description>is it cool? Yes. Is it a distraction? Yes? is it accurate? Not so sure.

It weighs the strength of your followers as how powerful your account is so how viral your message could go. I&quot;m assuming the theory is if all your people re tweeted your words how much reach it can get.

What I&#039;m most curious about is if there has been any studies on the statistical probability of a re tweet based on # of followers? I&#039;m noticing people with many many followers are typically less likely to retweet something where people with fewer friends are more likely to.

If the top people following you don&#039;t retweet much... Know what I&#039;m getting at?</description>

		<description>Sadly, I don&#039;t think I&#039;m #1 in Toronto. :)

That said, Twitter Grade is a good way to take a break.

		<description>99.9 baby!

It&#039;s a strange system because it is a sliding grade depending on how many people have used the app. For a while I was 100% then like 95 or 96, then 97, now 99.9. It&#039;s interesting, an interesting use of data mining tools for sure.

The other interesting thing is the regional thing (top in x location), it&#039;s based on the actual words in your location in your profile so Vancouver, Vancouver, BC, and Vancouver, BC, Canada, and YVR are all different to it.

That said, I&#039;m on top for Vancouver, BC. ;-)</description>
