What a great procedure! Script? (Curious, so I counted: I follow 69 of those people already. But I'll take a close look at the others.)

Upon reflection, it somehow bothers me that I'm at ~70%. Feels like it should be a lot lower.

I'm honoured. But unless you only had 3 or 4 accounts, it bugs me a little that thee's so much overlap...

21! But we are still probably suffering from a bias towards people who are more well known. Also you follow 5x more people than me so you may have already discovered a lot of the people I'm trying to discover.
