Script Summary: Ranks what kind of User this Twitter User is according http://twitter.com/evan/statuses/782291082 and according a Twitter Rank Algorithm (TR)
Version: 0.9.9
version: 0.9.9
We all love twitter, but there's several kinds of users and lately there's even some spammers. This little script ranks twitter users by the ratio of friends / followers making it easy to choose who to follow and who to drop...
The Twitter Rank Algorithm takes 3 things into account. The linking behavior (LB), the Twitter Participation (TP), and the Surprising Factor (SF)
LB=(2*Followers+Following)/3
TP=(#Updates/(Hours between Now and bottom Tweet))
SF=1+log(Favorites + 1)
The TwitterRank (TR) is then given by:
TR=log(1+LB*TP*SF)
Note that log is natural log, not base 10.
If you have a comment or a suggestion that might improve the ranking system, please use the comments bellow. I'd love to have feedback on how you used TwitterSafe!
