On the right hand side of the Twitter page is a few dozen images of people followed. How is that list of people “decided”? On mine is Biz Stone @biz who I guess was the first person to have a Twitter account. He is followed by Blaine Cook @blaine the chief engineer for Twitter who I understand is account number 3. He is followed by @jaygoldman then @johncabell from Wired, @blamb and @jemstone. Only Brian and Jem follow me.
I didn’t follow them in that order, it’s not a hierarchy of the number of their posts nor the number of followers they have.
It’s really not important – just wondering.
Anyone know?

It’s by the date *they* registered for Twitter.

Well that makes sense – it was @blamb that confused me, then. Didn’t think he’d caught on so quickly.
