Keep, With, Thailand,, Follow, Twitter, List

Twitter is been growing at a steady rate in Thailand. Although no official figures are produced, business intelligence firm Sysomos’s recent global ranking list placed Thailand as the seventh biggest Twitterer in Asia, putting it 25th in the world.

These stats are just the half of it, three months later the country’s Twitter usage continues to grow making it increasingly likely Thailand will be placed higher come the next report.

The continued growth is making it increasingly difficult to keep up with all the conversation on Twitter in Thailand, such is the noise.

One way is through Twitter’s List feature, launched back in September 2009 as “a better way to organize information on Twitter”.

I speculatively started this Thailand list back in November, with a little TLC it has grown to cover nearly 100 English-language Twitter users across Thailand. As far as I’m aware, it is the most comprehensive list covering the country.

I encourage you to follow it. For one, it provides a comprehensive overview of recent conversations allowing you to catch up on what has been said on the service across Thailand.

Secondly, it is an excellent way of finding new people to follow from Thailand.

At the moment it is strictly for those who tweet in English to keep things clear and simple. There is, of course, potential for a Thai list, which would probably be more useful as Thai users are joining in large quantities.

If you’re not on the list please, please, please contact me (@jonrussell) and I’ll add you. New people are essential to making the list even more comprehensive.
