Note: This list uses the Twitter Grade to rank users (not the number of followers). I think it's a more accurate representation of power and authority (because just the pure followers number is too easy to game).
Next step is to build a simple widget that you can embed in a web page. Working on that now.

Twitter-Grade rank-ordered group of entrepreneurs. Now that's really cool (except the part how I suck ;-)

Dharmesh, I am not showing up in your results for some reason even when I search Palo Alto where I'm in the top there with 99.4 rank. Something must be up with the index.
I have some ideas on the algorithm to make it more relevant. email me at johnfurrier at gmail dot com and we'll connect
thx
btw: big fan of your company and twitter grader direction..very sweet

definitely an informative list that can introduce myself & others to many fellow entrepreneurs (and worthwhile followers). yet, it must be super tough to identify all the entrepreneurs out there in the twitterverse...
either way, i wouldn't mind inclusion since i'd be sitting pretty at #40 with ~620 followers (www.gorankem.com is my startup in private alpha...getting ready to make a splash soon enough!)

There really is no reliable way (yet) to identify all entrepreneurs out there although @dharmesh apparently has something cooking. I added you to the list.

@DiTesco Twitter says that account doesn't exist. Yes, I did see @sethgodin on Twitter, but it's private and inactive (which he even says).

An interesting list, demonstrates how even amongst entrepreneurs some of them just don't get it (Twitter I mean) and some do. Won't mention names however some are very boring (personal and nonsensical crap) and some others give good information about their industry. A reflection of the whole community I guess, some can communicate well and some just can't. I suppose I was expecting more from a group of entrepreneurs as a whole. I will follow some though.

wondering how you put this list together? how can someone be an entrepreneur if they have never started or ran a company?
How are you defining "entrepreneur"? maybe this list is best categorized as entrepreneurship.
Great start but very inaccurate

It was a grueling process that makes the admissions process at Harvard look easy in comparison. But seriously I compiled the list starting with entrepreneurs that I follow and then added folks recommended by others. Not all of the folks on the list are founder/CEOs but most are. A few are senior executives at startup companies. If you think there is an egregious error with the list, let me know.
John Furrier

I wasn't being overly critical because I like what you're doing.. lists drive people crazy when it's positioned as an authorative list.. maybe you should word it entrepreneurs that you follow.
On the accuracy point I leave it at this ..there is distinction between being an entrepreneur and being entrepreneurial.
add me to the list - founded a few in my day and doing a few now
Great idea to post this list! Some of my favorite entrepreneurs are up there. Thanks for keeping it up to date!

Today abercrombie and fitch runs hundreds of retail stores and is doing a very brisk business indeed. hollister is very popular and is often associated with campus sports and lesiure activities. The abercrombie outlet male model sets a new standard in modeling. Male college students are photographed shirtless or sometimes completely nude, frolicking on a beach to help sell hollister clothing. The Abercrombie hoodies and tees sell at a very fast pace, especially in college towns and universities all across the United States. You’d be hard pressed to step onto any college campus across America and not spot dozens of Ruehl No.925 in a very short period of time.
