Hey Fellow AoIRistas,

Quick question: Do you know of any top-down measures of the distribution 
of follower numbers for Twitter accounts? I'm sure the curve overall 
looks like a standard power law distribution, but I'm interested to know 
whether there are emergent tiers (e.g. <250; 251-2,500; 2501-10,000; 
10,001+) or something along those lines.

Thanks!

Aram
