A similar analysis was carried out last year in relation to the number of "followers" of a certain US Senator..

It was found that 80% or more of his "followers", were robots set up by his own PR company..the survey then did some more checking and analysis of other twitter accounts with high follower numbers ( those over 1000 or so ) and concluded that 80% of all twitter accounts being "bots" was probably an accurate assessment..
