Analyse followers using FollowerWonk

FollowerWonk allows you to analyse twitter accounts and extract data about any account's followers, to see which user or which user's tweets are the most influential or reach the widest audience.

The 'Analzye Followers' tool can be used to track your own twitter account or your competitors accounts.  The data is presented in a pie chart showing a variety of stats including how many tweets an account's followers have made,

or how recent their last tweet was.

The 'Search bios' tool allows you to quickly find twitter accounts by specific keywords in their bios.

If you allow FollowerWonk access to your account you can use the follow button next to each user's account.
