Twitter Follower Value – Insightful Statistics

What is the value of a Twitter follower? Obviously from my previous blog post Social Currency via Social Media, companies already understand the great value that followers bring, investing resources to gain more followers and spark social interaction. Visual.ly is a platform to explore visual data. @TwitterSmallBiz created a beautiful interactive, with some interesting statistics:
