We just did a bit of light-hearted research on Twitter in Asia which shows Hong Kong rules on Twitter.
Singapore is vying for second, followed at a distance by Malaysia and then China.
Now for the Caveats: The measurement is how many people follow the top 3 most followed Twitterers in each market - as found via Twitterholic.
Yes, this is a wildly unscientific and flawed measurement, but we enjoyed it.
Just updated China top 3 list to include @isaac and knock out my own account. Any other corrections welcome!My Twitter account made the list as a top 3 Twitterer in China, but would not make the list in Hong Kong!
Who are the top 3 most followed Twitterers in each market? See list below.
What are Asia’s top Twitterers talking about right now? Wait for a moment and this Yahoo Pipe will tell you:
