Who Do Members of Congress Follow on Twitter?


Twitter has become such an integral medium for political communication that, according to our count, 97 percent of members of Congress now have an official Twitter presence.

But, according to New York magazine,  Twitter is a two-way street — you spread your message, and you listen to what others have to say. So who are members of the House and Senate (or, doubtless more often, their staffs) listening to on Twitter?

New York’s column Daily Intelligencer decided to find out: With help from the wizards at Twiangulate, they identified every congressional Twitter account, then analyzed which other accounts they follow most often.
