@alex and @andymurd thanks for your comments.
@Amy Johnston this list was calculated from combining several lists generated from Twitterholic. Paul selected all of the main conurbations and then added them together and sorted by the number of followers. I realise this isn’t ideal but it is a good start.

This is an interesting post.
However, it does open the debate as to what consists ‘top’ Twitterers? Is it simply number of followers or should it take into account quantity of tweets, number of RTs and links or even the quality of tweets?
Would be interesting to look at this for future posts about ‘top’ Twitterers.
