On Advertising Age's Mediaworks blog, Simon Dumenco says that Sarah Palin's Twitter profile is "rather impressive" compared to conservative heavyweight pundits Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck:
Her Tea Party conference appearance, as you'd expect, caused the biggest recent spike in her Twitter profile: 49,397 tweets name-checked her on Feb. 7, vs. just 11,277 for "tea party" itself. Palmgate -- the revelation that Palin wrote crib notes on her hand, seventh-grader style, to remind her of her own talking points during her Q&A session at the conference -- helped keep Twitter abuzz, whereas normally you'd expect a steep drop-off once she was offstage. (That latest uptick at the tail end of the chart is due to the "Family Guy" controversy.)More here.
Even without a particular appearance or controversy in the news, Sarah Palin is maintaining a considerably higher Twitter-buzz level lately than fellow conservative pundits Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck. Those guys generally get referenced on Twitter around 1,000 times or fewer a day, whereas Palin is typically name-checked 5,000 times a day or more lately.

I'd like to see a comparison between Palin's twitter buzz and that of Mitt, Huck, Tim, Newt, etc. I'd be willing to bet that she has several times more twitter buzz than all of them combined. I'd also like to see a comparison between Palin and 0bama. 0bama would probably come out ahead simply because he is president and makes more news, but it would be interesting to see.
