You know Twitter in the double glazing industry is getting influential when top 20 lists start appearing. So on a boring Sunday night, I got this tweet from @greendeal4wales:
@glazingblogger Have you made it into the top 20 most Influential Twitter Users in the Double Glazing Industry? bit.ly/T5eCZG
The link sends you to the Green Deal Homes website where they have organised their very own top 2o list of who makes the biggest splash on Twitter. On what was a mundane Sunday, the result put a nice little smile on my face. This is the full list:
1. glazingblogger 60.75
2. GlazingGuru 60.65
3. Matthew Glover 59.11
4. Anglian Windows 58.54
5. MPN Windows 57.32
6. Ben Warren Legacy Windows 56.32
7. NigelGrantUPVC 56.29
8. Safestyle UK 56.02
9. Mark Warren 55.51
10. eurocell plc 54.71
11. Nick Alum Trade Supply 53.67
12. Crystal Windows 52.26
13. FENSA 52.03

18. Value Doors UK 45.00
19. Planitherm 44.29
20. Conwy Valley Windows 44.24

First of all, I would like to thank Green Deal Homes for putting together such a list. These things take time and effort and during these tricky times where time is precious, anything like this is appreciated.
Secondly, I want to say well done to all those who made it on the list. Twitter is one of things which is fun, but requires a rather large amount of time and dedication to build up an influential account…queue accusations that I don’t do anything else!
This is how @greendeal4wales explained how the list was put together:Â Hi Influence is an amalgamation of follower count, tweets, age of the account, and influence of followers.
What I’m glad to see is that someone in their technical department has used complicated and probing methods to work this out. It wasn’t just a list made of up follower counts, that is a very inaccurate way of measuring influence on Twitter.
Will this be something that will become a yearly event? I don’t know, I haven’t had any indication, but maybe Green Deal Homes will leave a comment answering that. But the real winners out of this is the industry and is also proof that social media, especially Twitter, is becoming very quickly and ever more important and integral part of how our industry does business.
Thanks again to Green Deal Homes for taking the time to put this together.
What a load of crap stick to reality not fantasy twitter is a laugh nothing else your just having an ego trip
Morning Neil! Thanks for your kind comments again this morning :-) its a shame you think like this, because whether you like it or not, as long as the internet exists so will social media. And while the internet and the use of the internet continues to grow year on year, businesses and industries will continue to use social media, especially Twitter, in a big way. Yes Twitter is a laugh, but it is also becoming a very useful business to business tool. As for an ego trip, I don’t think so. Anyone getting in a list like this deserves… Read more »
jealousy my ass I just piss myself laughing at such crap, the fact that greendeal4wales produces such crap sort of tells you how busy they are not I was on holiday not long ago on another continent and read a 2 page spread about myself in the business page of the local rag . Most of it was utter bull I dont get carried away in my own publicity . Twitter is a laugh and my guys use twitter here very succesfully to market one of our niche products nothing to with houses although thats where i made my cash,… Read more »
Neil, with respect you contradict yourself in firstly saying that twitter is a laugh in your first comment, yet on the other comment you say your own guys use it successfully to market a product? I can’t figure out whether you are just having a laugh with DGB or you’re being serious. For a few years Matthew Glover did his top 50 based on alexa rankings. I have done my own this year on top 50 aluminium people also based on Alexa. It may be a bit of fun, it may be totally serious, not that many people use Alexa… Read more »
I think attention should be immediately brought to the fact that neil cant spell his own name, which doesnt say much for his intelligence and general professional nature. not a great start neil, not a great start.
It’s can’t by the way. People in glass houses and all that :-p
Thanks for writing about this DGB! Well done to you! Huge well done to all who made the list! Shame you have trolls on here making fun of peoples hard work and dedication. I personally don’t have time to ridicule people for trying to make a business a success. I have worked very hard in recent months to connect with people and businesses in the double glazing industry and am delighted to have made the list. Neil, Noel or whatever your name is – please find something useful to do. I managed to to connect a company to a main… Read more »
Awards and recognition only matter to those who receive them, unless it’s a really important award, when the receivers have to say that it’s not important :)
