Serendipity and synergy. I just suggested yesterday that someone should check out the faker scores for education-related Twitterers, and abracadabra! Mike Petrilli and Education Next made it possible by posting a list of “The 30 Top Education Policy Tweeters, 2012.” He used Klout scores to create his list, so I’ve extracted the faker scores for each of the 30. The percentages shown are, in order, “Good,” “Inactive” and “Fake.” I then ranked Petrilli’s 30 according to a different standard – “Good” minus “Fake.” Here are the results:
