World Twitter ranking of the most recommended tweeps based on the #followfriday recommendations. Check who recommends you and who you have recommended.
Ruth doesn't have too much followers or popularity such as others celebs like Lady Gaga (@ladygaga), for example (and she knows this! look at the tweet below), but has conquered an excellent place in the ranking.
The #FF recommendations that Ruth has received are funny like she is...
The actress is especially known for her performances on the comedy-variety show Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In from 1968 to 1973. You can see the video below, in which she appears with Frank Sinatra. LOL!
English filmmaker has the world record for the longest time tweeting without sleep
This past weekend the English filmmaker Ad Lane spent 60 hours tweeting live in front of a camera via streaming. The action was part of a campaign that Lane performed with the intention of raising funds to shoot his first film, "Invasion of the not quite dead," thanks to the fan donations.
The filmmaker's followers were quick to recognize his effort and recommended his account @indywoodFILMS using the hashtag #followfriday, positioning it in the number 6 of the global ranking (with 8877 points). The profile has won the 1st place in the UK ranking!
According to Ad Lane’s website, he has the world record for the longest time tweeting without sleep: 86 hours!
Since the beginning of his campaign on Twitter, in 2009, the filmmaker has raised over £40,000, “showing that fans (from 26 different countries) can bring as independent horror movie to life”. Awesome!
With the money, Lane could shoot the first part of "Invasion of the not quite dead" in Bulgaria (watch the teaser below). All FollowFriday team wish to Ad Lane good luck in the second half of the filming!
A non-profit organization launches a contest in YouTube and gets the number one of the global ranking
We don’t know if it is thanks to a video contest via Youtube or if the reason is another, but the thing is that the U.S. organization "Kids are Heroes" is the number one of the FollowFriday.com ranking globally. @kidsareheroes has also achieved the ranking leadership in this country, with 23,078 points.
"The YouTube Challenge" consists in a contest in which the kids have to answer the question: How in my lifetime will I change the world?
“Kids are Heroes” is a non-profit that encourages and inspires children to become leaders through volunteerism and community involvement. On its website you can read:
"Our children are drilling water wells in Africa, helping orphans in India and building houses in Haiti. They recycle waste and care for the cleanliness of their neighborhoods, working with local animal shelters and improving the lives of their neighbors”. AWESOME!
The actor, the number 2 on the Australian ranking, was called anti-Semitic
"Circumcision is barbaric and stupid. Who are you to correct nature?", tweeted last Thursday the Oscar winner. "Is it real that God requires a donation of foreskin? Babies are perfect". After several of his followers tweeted messages of support, the actor reached out to his Jewish friends to encourage them to reject their long tradition of ceremonial circumcision. "I love my Jewish friends, I love the apples and the honey and the funny little hats, but stop cutting your babies", he wrote.
Early Friday morning, after deleting the tweet, Crowe apologized for offending his followers, telling them: "I have a deep and abiding love for all people of all nationalities. I'm very sorry that I have said things on here that have caused distress. My personal beliefs aside I realize that some will interpret this debate as me mocking the rituals and traditions of others. I am very sorry". Russell Crowe (@russellcrowe) has been the number 2 in the Australian FollowFriday.com ranking.
Teenager writes a "bucket list" of things she wants to do before she dies of cancer
Alice Pyne, 15, has been fighting Hodgkin's lymphoma - cancer of the white blood cells - for four years. One week ago she created a blog, where she wrote “I've created a bucket list because there are so many things I still want to do in my life... some are possible, some will remain a dream. My blog is to document this precious time with my family and friends, doing the things I want to do. You only have one life... live it!”.
Top is her aim to persuade everyone in the UK to sign up to a donor programme. It seems that it is succeeding. British Prime Minister David Cameron has taken up the challenge of the teenager. Mr Cameron's pledge came in the Commons after Barrow Labour MP John Woodcock highlighted the youngster's ambitions: "We do want to get as many people as possible on to the bone marrow register and I'm sure the Leader of the Opposition and I can discuss this."

An urban legend from Indonesia, the 1st in the followfriday.comworldwide ranking - @poconggg is the account of an Indonesian "ghost" that got the top global followfriday.com ranking! Pocong is a mass phenomenon in this country that has become very popular on social media, especially on Twitter and Facebook. This “paranormal” has more than 370,000 followers in Twitter and he boasts over 26,000 fans on Facebook. In followfriday.com ranking, Pocong has won 28195 points!
Originally a frightening urban legend about a dead man trapped in their suit (have a look at his Twitter avatar!), this “ghost” is not an object of fear. The profile has been created just “for fun”. The popularity of the “ghost” will probably grow with news on his blog that Pocong will publish a book, and that he will mention his followers names in the book.
Last month the “paranormal” announced on Twitter that he would appear in a shopping mall in South Jakarta, and that people who wanted to be mentioned in his book should come and show their Twitter username on paper. The reaction was amazing! Draw your own conclusions.
