A Quick and Easy Way to Find Out Who Your Most Valuable Twitter Follower Is

Ever wondered who the MVP of your Twitterverse was? Now you can find out.

A new app called MFV, an acronym for Most Valuable Follower, attempts to extract from your hundreds or thousands of Twitter followers just that person. Even though it's only a couple of days old, the algorithm has already been tweaked, and is likely to altered further, so expect your MVF to change as the developers better pin down the meaning of "value."

My most valuable follower was @linuxfoundation, which is evidence that the algorithm needs adjustment—it's far too dependent on users' followers-to-following ratio. To become worthwhile, MVF needs to incorporate more criteria, like Klout scores or something.

MFV is a side project created by Aviary's Alex Taub and Nerve Dating's Michael Schonfeld, with "great help" from Daniel Schonfeld and "Inadvertently inspired" by Daniel Freedman.
