Some months ago I wrote a program to pull the @Klout of political figures. We track House, Senate, and Governors, incumbents and challengers, for both the Republicans and the Democratic party. We periodically release the Democratic incumbent information here and you'd have to ask @Spedwybabs really nicely if you want to see any of the other stuff.
We still favor Klout for tracking long term effectiveness but there is great merit to Twitalyzer. We just got a juicy agency account to keep an eye on stuff and all sorts of goodies are falling out, like the report of Kossacks who are tearing it up out there ...
I gotta give a shout out to @Radlein for keeping an eye on Kossacks with the same diligence we apply to political figures.
I also gotta point out a couple of twitterati who have accounts here but who don't say all that much - @SandiBehrns and @GottaLaff. Sandi does some BlogTalk radio stuff in addition to blogging and Laffy is a regular on @Angie_Coiro's show Live From The Left Coast.
I goofed - Laffy called me and my info on Angie is dated. I gotta do some checking, she is doing something new, I'll get it corrected in time for Friday. Oh, and she says I should mention The Political Carnival, where Laffy posts BLUNTs - short, fun, videos that are good enough that [http:/twitter.com/MaddowBlog @MaddowBlog] has posted and tweeted about them.
We're going to make this a regular sort of thing once I get all the coding done, maybe in another week or two, and Beth tells me it's going to be 7:30 PM Eastern/4:30 PM Pacific on Friday. If you're active on Twitter and not on the list today it's because no one has looked at you with Twitalyzer recently. Scoot over there, pick up a free account, and do a careful self inspection. That'll leave you and your stats feeling refreshed and ready to be listed.
And this, my friends, is what #FAIL looks like ...
