What is TunkRank?

TunkRank is an influence ranking tool that helps you identify leading influencers on Twitter. There are two basic ideas:

1. The amount of attention you can give is spread out among all those you follow. The more you follow, the less attention you can give each one.
2. Your influence depends on the amount of attention your followers can give you.

As a twitterer, your influence does not depend on how many people you follow. However, your usefulness as a follower does. Having higher influence depends on having many followers who follow relatively few people but are followed by many. Followers like that are more likely to read your tweets and act on them (retweeting, clicking links, responding, blogging, etc). Their influence trickles up to you.

Your TunkRank score is a reflection of how much attention your followers can both directly give you and how much attention they bring you from their network of followers.

TunkRank is based on the TunkRank algorithm by Daniel Tunkelang. This website was created by Jason Adams.
