A few thoughts about these top 20 lists.  Don’t take them seriously – they don’t mean much in the scheme of things.  An active, engaged program, the willingness to be part of a community, to answer questions, to provide assistance – that’s the only metric that matters.

You don’t need thousands of followers to be successful.
