Soon after I signed up for Twitter last July, I began compiling a list of the top Ugandans on Twitter, which I have followed closely for news and trends in this country. I’ve now updated that list and present the top 100 Tweeters in Uganda. Naturally, there will be names missing because Twitter is a vast place, but in general the list should be an accurate compilation. Check it out, follow the accounts that appeal to you, and comment on those Ugandans on Twitter you think we should have included.
Note: This list was manually compiled as a labor of love and reflects follower counts from July 21. We may have also unknowingly omitted additional Ugandans who should have made the list, but we encourage you to help us out by posting additional Twitter feeds and descriptions in the comments. Thank you.
