The result in the Twar Between JZ and HZ

23 August 2012 By Alan

With reference to this article on MyPE – Do you know Your Faker Score? – I had a look at comparisons between Helen Zille and THe SA President, Jacob Zuma’s Twitter account to see if I could determine a clear winner based on their Faker Score as well as Tweets, Followers, Followed and Follower Weight.

The results graph is below:


MyPE

  • JZ had the least number of ‘fake’ followers (23%), he tied with HZ on the number of ‘good’ followers (32% each), was a clear winner in the following stakes (following 6 – in MY book the less accounts you follow the better) and, as a consequence klapped the follower weight out of the park (25 428)
  • HZ beat JZ on inactive followers (only 40%), number of tweets (13 385) and number of followers (172 386).

With three firsts and a tie to each, the results of the Twar between Helen and Jacob is a tie.

The numbers are below:

Helen Zille

  • 28% Fake (48 268)
  • 40% Inactive (68 954)
  • 32% Good (55 164)
  • 13 385 Tweets
  • Following 1 838
  • 172 386 Followers
  • Follower Weight – 94

Jacob Zuma

  • 23% Fake (35 090)
  • 45% Inactive (68 656)
  • 32% Good (48 822)
  • 87 Tweets
  • Following 6
  • 152 569 Followers
  • Follower Weight – 25428
