I just reached 5000 followers today! Every time I hit a thousand marker, I celebrate by sharing a circle of my top 1% of followers. Since 5000 is such a significant marker, I've decided to share not just one.... but three circles! I will be sharing my top 10% of followers, my top 1% of followers and my top 0.1% of followers.
To minimize butthurtedness, and maximize time efficiency, I am letting Google+ choose these circles for me. My procedure is this:
On a computer (because you can't manage circles on a mobile device), I go to Circles. Then I click the "Have you in circles" button towards the top. I sort the results by relevance. Then I go through and remove a handful of people that are personal friends of mine who joined G+ a long time ago and never bothered to log in again.
Something weird that I noticed: the people towards the top of the list after I sorted it by relevance did not change from one sort to the next. But people lower down on the list changed dramatically from one second to the next. Very strange.
Also, for some weird reason, a brand page +Famous Footwear that I just added yesterday, and which just added me back today, is in my top 500. One of my best friends, +Leonard Harris, did not make the top 500 list even though we regularly interact on each others' posts. So the algorithm that Google uses to determine relevance is somewhat perplexing. I mean, a lot of the people on this list clearly belong here..... but some are a total mystery. And some people who should have made the list did not.
Lastly, please note that my Top 500 Followers is a different list from my To 500 People I'm Following. Think about it. The lists are similar, but not identical. This list is my Top 500 Followers as of today (8/14/2012)
