This final week of April, the top 10 of Sport Twitterers has a breath ofr fresh air – Serena williams has hit the board. Last week, i previewed this rising star to come up the rankings. Serena added 34,000 followers in a single week. Only the top 4 have more added followers per week. The reason for this has to do with a more tweeting activity by Serena that has call fo the attention of the twitter nation.

At the front, the question is how long will it take for Shaq to have a round number of a million followers? My prediction is – 10th of May!! At the back of the top 5, George Hincapie falls to 10th and Basketball player – Baron Davis continues his move to the top of the rankings – 8th place!
Basketball is still the #1 Sport @ Twitter.
