Being influential on Twitter is very valuable. Companies will pay famous people with a lot of money tens of thousands of dollars for a single tweet. So that begs the question: who was the most important person on Twitter in 2011?
To judge, we’ll look at the person who gets the most retweets. While followers is nice, it’s easier to spam followers than it is to spam retweets. Thus, for this measurement, we’ll use retweets instead of followers.
And the winner?

After the confirmed Anwar Al Awlaki death, President Barack Obama was excited: “The death of Awlaki is a major blow to Al Qaeda’s most active operational affiliate…. More »
In early August, President Barack Obama played basketball with a bunch of NBA stars including LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul and Dwyane Wade. One important player missing from that mix? Kevin Durant, arguably the best basketball player on the planet.
However, that omission was rectified about five weeks later. Just now coming to light, Obama and Kevin Durant played basketball together in the middle of September. The Oklahoman, which first reported this story, also got quotes from the… More »
President Barack Obama attended a Philadelphia rally that was supposed to excite Democrats for the upcoming elections. However, multiple shenanigans stole the show from Obama. In the first video below, you can see a book thrown at Obama. In the second video, you can see a naked man streaking by Obama.
The book was thrown at Obama because the man who wrote the book was mad that Obama didn’t read it. The Secret Service obviously tracked the man down but later… More »
Sunday saw President Barack Obama hoop it up with basketball stars. On Monday, Obama was in a football state of mind. He hosted the New Orleans Saints to recognize the team for their Super Bowl victory. Obama praised the team for helping lift the spirit of the city of New Orleans following the devastation of Hurricane Katrina.
“Back then people didn’t even know if the team was coming back,” said Obama. “People didn’t even know if the city was coming back.”

Last night, President Barack Obama gave his first State of the Union Address. In it, he laid out a plan meant to help kickstart the jobs market. With an economic recovery languishing in large part due to the lack of hiring, President Obama emphasized his commitment to providing a stimulus for workers. One of the main aspects of his plan is to offer tax breaks to companies that employ new workers.
In addition to the focus on jobs, the President used… More »
Even with the fact that today the news came in that jobless claims have dropped to a one-year low, the reality is that this is the worst job market in right around 26 years. So, even as the picture starts to improve, things still need to be happening to stimulate job creation. And, as a result, president Barack Obama is convening a jobs summit.
Gathering 130 people together — business people, union leaders, and economists — at the White House is… More »
Usmagazine.com is quoting a source “close” to Angelina Jolie by claiming that the actress dislikes President Barack Obama. I guess it would be such a big deal if her life partner, Brad Pitt, wasn’t such a big supporter of the Commander-in-Chief (he even attended the election party in 2008 without her at his side).
This source said: “She hates him. She’s into education and rehabilitation and thinks Obama is all about welfare and handouts. She thinks Obama is really a socialist… More »

If you want to be safe, if you want your laptop or electronic gears be returned to you, make sure you clean them up and double check them before leaving your home. People are objecting to the new rules of the Obama administration on the border laptop searches which is similar to the Bush administration policy. In the Bush administration, Homeland Security Department are allowed to seize traveler’s laptops and other digital gears with no question… More »
I’m not sure if you caught it or not, but Obama had a little bit to say recently about kids and our responsibility as parents. Specifically he stated that parents need to turn off the Xbox and get our kids in bed at a reasonable hour. The article I read about his statement says that the Obama household living in the White House is a Wii family. Was he taking sides? Why didn’t he mention the… More »
Doug Lamborn Pictures – “Obama is a Tar Baby”
Doug Lamborn is the brightest bulb in the room. When talking about the debt ceiling and who would be blamed, the congressman compared President Barack Obama to a tar baby. Even after he said it, he didn’t realize the racist nature of his comment.
I don’t know if Doug Lamborn is racist or just that stupid.
After his people heard his comment, Doug Lamborn’s camp eventually issued an apology.
“Congressman Lamborn regrets any misunderstanding,” said his spokesman. “He simply meant to refer to… More »
