Top 10s: Who’s using Twitter?

Well, lots of people is the answer to that (maybe 2.5m and growing) . I’m still a bit sceptical of the utility of “I’m eating a burger” messages, but here are the individuals (and 2 organisations) who are really creating some traction with their followers. Thanks to twitterholic for this Top 10 list. Notable Web Gurus, Barack and some news sources (CNN/NASA) make up the list
