Top 10 Gays and Geeks on Twitter


Did a bit of digging around twitter tools to find the top gays and the top geeks. Now obviously 'gayness' is not necessarily determined by the number of times you mention the word 'gay' nor the number of followers, so a bit of creative license here. I think there may be some overlap between these lists. Anyone willing to raise their hand @fagadget
