Yes, I get the top 100 from twitterholic.

I'll look into getting older tweets..

They are very interesting reads. Did you use Twitterholic to determine the Top 100? I only wish there was an option to see older Tweets...maybe 24 hours worth?

I really like these aggregate micro-views you are compiling. Easy to digest "Twitter Snacks". Baked - not Fried! BTW, I am still planning on trying a MTW this July - live once - live dangerously!

Found you via @Chris Brogan Twitter:

What if you did aggregated twitters of S&P 500 CEOs (maybe started with DJIA)?
And what if you then converted this into a CEO sentiment index (maybe look for the appearance of 'upbeat words')?
And then looked for a correlation (if any) between the CEO Sentiment Index and the S&P 500 returns?

Probably beyond the scope of what you are doing... but would be fascinating!

Hey Dave, how about congress.100twt.com? I don't know how many of them there are, but it would be interesting... I suppose whitehouse.100twt.com would be asking too much... ;)

I don't get it -- cluelessnewbie feed doesn't have any of the content of the streams. I was hoping for an RSS feed that contained the tweets (or, failing that, maybe an OPML pointing to the original tweet feeds)

http://twitter.com/statuses...

It seems to me if the content of the page (eg http://nyt.100twt.com/) is the actual tweets, the RSS feed should be the same thing. If the content of the page were just pointers, it would make sense for the feed to be also just pointers.

There already are RSS feeds for the corresponding Twitter accounts.

cluelessnewbie, nytnewbie, corpfollow and gangfan

You going to do an RSS feed for these? Current feeds (autodiscovered) don't correspond to the content. (Asked this on Twitter too)

i wonder if over an aggregated amount of time we'll be able to determine who will stay with a company by how they tweet. whether we will be able to determine a good candidate by their tweets to see if they fit the mold.... twitter-feeds aside, Twitter is basically the minds of people splattered on the internet. 100wt aggregates these minds. thanks for the article!

Atul, for you I'd do it for sure.

Here's how.

Create a twitter account and follow all the people you want in the group.

From there it's easy for me to set it up.

Dave while a simple concept this is one of the most interesting things you've done in years. It has enormous potential.

This is an interesting application to watch top 100 twitter users' tweet... i included in my twitter application database (http://i-stuff.blogspot.com....

Congress? Senators? Fed Republicans? Fed Democrats?

Wow, that was my article you read, Dave. What a cool idea. Do you think there's a possible 'future' in lots of these sub-sets? I'm surprised it isn't something Twitter leaps on; they could make specialist lists (say, newspapers, journalists, tech, bloggers) for people to follow, instead of just the generally-derided suggested users as it is now.

zappos.100twt.com would be interesting, they have tons of people on twitter. i think they have their own aggregation point though.

How about
1. wsj.100twt.com
2. google.100twt.com (all googlers + official google twitter accounts)
3. tech.100twt.com (could be seeded with all twitter accounts that @google follows)

Yes, I worked from that list Here's the list of NYT accounts I'm following...

http://twitter.com/nytnewbi...

If you see any that are missing, let me know. I want it to be complete and current.

Last time I looked, there were about 130 twitter accounts from departments and writers at the New York Times -- good way to find them is to see who @nytimes follows: http://twitter.com/nytimes/... . // (Never mind. I just realized you're already doing that.)
