DN Twitter 2/n

This is going to be pretty short. I was curious if there was any correlation between the proportion of partnerings for accounts in the DN top 25 (see previous post) and the number of followers that they have. My hunch was that more followers mean more popular and thus more likely to get mentioned or tweeted at by the DN account. Again, a rich-get-richer kind of a thing. Here's the full top 25 (which actually comes to 32, since R includes multiple values in cases of ties).

It's a bit tough to read but you can see in the top left corner @sciam with loads of followers and lots of the proportion of partnerings and everyone else clustered on the left. Let's get rid of @sciam to see if that clears things up.

Ok the labels obscure things a bit. Once more without them.

Aaaaaaand one more adding a regression line...

The message is clear: there's little-to-no correlation between the ratio of partnerings and number of followers. My hunch was off the mark.
