Sort:  

I was really hoping I'd be in the top 50. This process has caused me to think about my narcissistic tendencies. :)

So what can we do about the bots accounts?

Yeah, I'm thinking about that. I included accounts which have at least one post, but I could also try the mined: true attribute which is probably a good indication of a bot, but not perfect. I could also improve it to exclude followers who are bots or who have low reputation. Whatever mechanisms I use to message the data could possibly be gamed either way. In the end, the content is what matters, so follow count is just one signal among many.

hahahah maybe ;P sounds good, although I was just told they cannot be deleted. lol So reputation will be our best bet and I think this makes sense ;)

I haven't looked into how to calculate the new reputation score yet and it's not a property I see in the API.

Cool, well let me know when you do :)
