On Mad Men

A critical look at the Mad Men on Twitter shenanigans. [email protected]

[On Mad Men @OnMadMen]

And @peggyolson goes past @bettydraper in number of followers. Will it last?

[On Mad Men @OnMadMen]

Cool day for Mad Man numbers @betty_draper over 7,500 ken_cosgrove over 7,000 @don_draper over 5,000 and @peggyolson closing on @bettydraper

[On Mad Men @OnMadMen]

ON as we speak, a silent cat fight: @peggyolson just tens of followers away from @bettydraper, an unexpected kick back. Who's your favorite?

[On Mad Men @OnMadMen]

Also, @don_draper hasn't given the account but started gathering followers a bit more actively. Will he catch up with slower @bertramcooper?

[On Mad Men @OnMadMen]

Meanwhile, in Shorty Awards: @peggyolson leads advertising, and @bettydraper entertainment, followed by @betty_draper. No other candidates.

The 'leading pack' wows me: under 4 months (end Aug-mid Dec) to go from 0 followers to over 6,000 on average. http://tinyurl.com/madmencount

[On Mad Men @OnMadMen]

The followers' count is most fascinating to me, like watching a marathon. There's a leading pack of maybe 6 accounts, laps ahead the others.

While @joan_holloway and @joanholloway have been silent since end of October, I didn't know @joanholloway twittered in character in October.

[On Mad Men @OnMadMen]

I found a few new accounts and you can tell they were added to my count today. Let me know if you know more new ones, I'll add them.

[On Mad Men @OnMadMen]

Highlights: @betty_draper over 7,000. Three other characters over 6,000. @bertramcooper over 5,000 (!) and @don_draper almost 5,000

[On Mad Men @OnMadMen]

There are now 78 accounts on Twitter related to Mad Men. There would've been 80 BUT @dondraper is a real person and @MadMen was deleted.

My followers count for Mad Men characters on Twitter finally updated at http://tinyurl.com/madmencount

Speaking of @shortyawards, both Betties are in, and the @adbroad version seems to win. She comes third after @stephenfry Simply hilarious!

[On Mad Men @OnMadMen]

@cinnarose Indeed, that was my #3. Not that I'm impressed with anything he's ever done. Maybe the research that went into his report is OK.

[On Mad Men @OnMadMen]

@shortyawards I nominate @don_draper for a Shorty Award in #advertising for the amazing campaign he started by twittering as Don Draper.

[On Mad Men @OnMadMen]

4. Characters are nominating each other for @shortyawards. I'll do it, too, it's rather easy.

3. @bud_melman/@bud_caddell published his report and didn't give away people behind characters. To download: http://drop.io/becomingamadman

2. @don_draper/@paulisakson wants your opinion on the future of his Twitter account, so leave him a comment on his blog: http://tr.im/24r3

[On Mad Men @OnMadMen]

Have I been away for long! Let's recap the recent events quickly: 1. Four characters are over 6,000 followers and my count needs an update.

[On Mad Men @OnMadMen]

@TonyTheTiger7 You are probably mistaken.
