The Diggnation Army v The TWiTs: Who'll be most followed by the end of June?

Settled as Kevin Rose

Kevin comes in 2,000 followers ahead of Leo Laporte. We've got a new king of Twitter!

Background:

Background: Leo Laporte won the TWiT Twitter Derby but in doing so brought on the wrath of the Diggnation army. Alex Albrecht and Kevin Rose now compete with the TWiT regulars to see who will have the most followers on Twitter by the end of June. Track the runners on Twitterholic.

Prize: Hubdub T-shirt to the winner!
Event: Grade 1, A-list tech twitterers
Distance: 3 weeks

ColoursRunnerAgeForm
Leo Laporte51This grey is the front runner with a great pedigree. Trounced the field in a similar event last month (TWiT)
Kevin Rose 31Young colt seems more at home chasing mares in the paddock but is fired up for this event (Diggnation)
Jason Calacanis37Definitely a talking horse. Always a strong starter although some question if he can go the distance (TWiT)
Alex Albrecht31From the same stable as Kevin Rose. Not as distracted by the mares but often not the steadiest (Diggnation)
Robert Scoble43A couple of false starts but a real work horse (TWiT)
John C Dvorak55Coming from the back of the field and not the youngest in the pack but could be one to watch (TWiT)
