Getparkplus has published a list of the top 100 parking influencers.
The list was compiled by collecting sets of twitter accounts related to the keyword 'parking', and then finding out which accounts are followed by other accounts in the data set.
The Prankster failed to make the cut. Other notable failures include, Parking Cowboys, the Notomob and Barry Beavis.
The algorithm used only takes into account the closed twitter group mutual admiration society, and does not measure number of followers, number of parking related tweets, blog activity, blog hits, website hits, facebook score, books published or book ranking.
Or, come to that, the number of petitions successfully submitted to parliament (requires at least 10,000 signatures).
The Prankster therefore publishes another list of the top 10 parking influences, which he copied from here
xepidissi
lobularis
gaowzz
rappervert
skuukkyz
markwillard85
jieonnie
svtminqyu
sujuna
The Prankster did not make this list either. Hmm.
The Prankster therefore devised his own algorithm to make a list of the top one parking influencers of all time and can announce the most influential parking tweeter is....
...Parking Cowboys.
Hmm. The Prankster will be back soon, once he has sufficiently tweaked the algorithm.
Happy Parking

The algorithm must be correct though - it's subject to 19 unspecified checks, including calibration with a non-existent time server. So I'm afraid you have no grounds for appeal, Prankster.
ReplyDeleteYou might have got on the list but you were over the time allocated to sort out the algorithm.
ReplyDeleteBring Trev Whitehouse back out of retirement. He's written loads of algorithms for his ANPR in a Box which was capable of detecting illegal immigrants, shoplifters and terrorists. He could easily sort this one out for you PP.
ReplyDeleteTrev Whitehouse is alive and kicking and now behind at least 5 other companies , all running under the IPC
ReplyDeleteWrong title, "Prankster fails to make top 50 Twitter accounts and thus keeps his street cred"!
ReplyDeleteLOL!
I'll bet 'MrParking' is a bit miffed he only made 4th place given his name was the keyword :)
ReplyDeleteYou could always do what the parking companies do. Just make it up and declare yourself the winner ;)
