Oprah's Tweet-to-Follower Ratio 14,000 / 1

What's in a name?

For Oprah Winfrey, about 40,000 followers on Twitter. The media mogul from Chicago had 40,000 followers on Oprah's Twitter before her first Tweet. (Post.) As of 3 p.m. today, Oprah has 128,588 followers and only nine posts. That equates to 14,287 followers per post.

According to the latest report I found, Oprah makes approximately $732 per minute. I'm not sure which stat is more baffling. Twitter Founder Evan Williams was a guest on her show today, and I'm sure he wonders what her secret formula for success was, since his company is still searching for viable revenue streams. Imagine all those soccer moms and middle aged moms who will visit Twitter for the first time today.

The woman obviously has a golden touch. (Just ask Barack Obama.)
