2011: Where the Imprints Rank on Twitter

It's been two years since PW took the first snapshot of the publishing world on Twitter. In May 2009 we looked at the followings 16 imprints and publishers had on the social networking site. At the time, a lot of imprints weren't even on Twitter, and we thought the word "twittering" was an acceptable verb. Since then the imprints followed by PW have shown explosive growth and continue to add followers at impressive rates. Between May 2009 and 2010, the imprints added 105,152 followers. In the next year, the number of new followers more than doubled, with 233,020 added in the May 2010–May 2011 period. Continue reading at 'Publishers Weekly'
