Check the numbers reported there by Susan Mernit and Jeremiah Owyang. Susan reports 1290 followers, I was able to discover 1028. Jeremiah reports 1979 followers, I was able to discover 1535. I'd say this fits well within the 15-20% margin. I will publish a longer list in which these two users appear. Also, as far as the "big guys" go, I'm sure I'm missing a lot more than that which is natural given their popularity. There are probably a lot of dormant/inactive users who simply follow Scoble and Arrington without contributing anything to the feed (which makes them non-discoverable by my crawler). Felix, please take a look at this FF thread.

Although, Scoble's posted that he's now got 15k followers and arrington's said about 10k. So it could be that your numbers are up to 50% off? How did you estimate the 10-15%? Interesting work!

Also a number of likes! Would be nice to see top 100, 500, etc. How about rating users by the number of comments? Also a number of likes!
