When we decided to tally up the most popular Twitter users in Miami, we weren’t sure what we were going to get. Real fame or local fame doesn’t necessarily equate to Twitter fame. After all, Dan Marino barely made the list at 50, and LeBron James came in second.
To compile this list, we used Twitaholic.com data of users with common terms in their location field to denote they’re from the Miami area, and supplemented that info with superfamous Miami icons who didn’t bother to fill out their location. So this list isn’t perfect (and we’re open to adding anyone we somehow missed), but it’s a pretty interesting snapshot of whose social media game is on point in the 305.
