Every account, A to Z

72 accounts appear in the four distinct captures of the top-100 table. 12 of them show up in all four. 30 appear only once, because they happened to tweet inside that capture's window.

Who did the talking

The table didn't give each account a row. It gave each tweet a row, so whoever posted most took up the most space. Add up the rows across the four captures and a few accounts dominate. These twelve wrote 221 of the 400 rows, so a subscriber to the top 100 in 2009 would have heard from them more than from the other 60 put together.

Rows in the table across the captures of May 9, June 4, July 12 and November 2, 2009 (400 rows in all).

The four dots are May 9, June 4, July 12 and November 2. Filled means the account was in the table.
