A review of the top 60 most influential and popular Chester Twitter accounts.
Twitter is a great way to keep up to date with everything that is going on in the City of Chester. @every_chester the Everything Chester account started tweeting in May, and we love taking part in Chester’s twittersphere, posting, commenting, liking and retweeting.
To celebrate Chester’s active Twitter community, we have compiled a list of “The 60 Most Popular & Influential Chester Twitter Accounts”.
All the data was collected on the 27th and 28th of August.
The Top 60 Chester Twitter Accounts Table is based purely on number of followers, and does not consider any other factors, such as age of account or social engagement.
We have produced a second table that takes a more in-depth look at the stats for the top 10 Chester Twitter accounts, exploring metrics like percentage of tweets with @mentions and average number of tweets per day.
Graphs have also been produced to visualise the top 10 accounts by number of followers and number of tweets.
The bulk of the writeup contains snippets of the Top 60 Chester Accounts, where you can explore a description of each feed and browse their most recent tweets.
This article rapidly grew, so we have split it up into several pages to reduce page load time.
We have included a table of contents below, and on each page, so you can easily navigate between sections.
No Chester Sports accounts have been added yet, they will have their own follow up league in a couple of weeks.
If this report proves useful and popular we will publish a similar breakdown for Chester Facebook pages and groups.
Some Chester accounts with large followings have purposely been omitted, as they had not tweeted in a number of months, however if you think we have overlooked anybody leave a comment.
*** As soon as we published this post we realised a massive account had slipped through the net . . . can you spot our mistake? ***
We hope you find the initial analysis and figures interesting, and then go on to find some new Chester accounts to follow and engage with.
If you find this article informative, please feel free to share it with your friends, followers and Subscribe to Everything Chester to receive updates and future posts.
