That's why I started <a href="http://www.tweepleblog.com" target="_blank">http://www.tweepleblog.com</a> - it profiles Twitter users one at a time and with enough information to be relevant. I only meant that with @Grader and Mr. Tweet and the others you can get to information that will help you decide, not that the top users were doing it best, or actually that the grading system means anything in particular.

I've shown in the past that they are easily gamed, and don't provide an accurate measure of value. Other than helping you weed out a spammer, there is no metric that recognizes "quality" or the even-more-important "relevance." I always try to provide something to the people with whom I interact. It might be value, information, or merely a chuckle. But it's something other than driving traffic to me, or adding to a mythical "collection" of followers. The numbers mean only what you project upon them. I'm not so sure I agree with the metrics.
