I, similar to most people who use twitter more than a few times a week, like to keep track of their twitter follower growth with TwitterCounter (my stats). If you haven't started using it already, I recommend you signup for a free account.

A valuable service provided by TwitterCounter is having your twitter account promoted throughout their network. The service comes up with a number of customization options including geolocation and as a result you get exposure to real authentic twitter followers who are actually interested in your tweets.

Here is the Top 100 People On twitter, and you can filter by location too! 

Below you'll see the pricing comparisons for the two different promotion types offered.

Since there is no minimum contract, I recommend signing up for the monthly bundle.

1. Timely

Timely is a browser application that let’s users schedule tweets. It also tracks the links via bit.ly and has a bookmark extension which allows you to tweet (or add to queue) the page you are currently on. Use it to distribute tweets evenly throughout the day. This is great for tweeting out resources, articles, how-to’s, etc. For time sensitive news, tweet them as you read them! If you don’t like Timely, there’s always Buffer which is very similar in terms of functions.

2. Followerwonk

When using Twitter you should be figuring out how to find influential people in your industry and connect with them. FollowerWonk is there to help you simplify the search and analytical part. For example, you can search Twitter users by what they are saying in their bio (certain keywords for example such as “social media marketing”). Moreover, you can segment them by the amount of followers they have, how much they tweet, etc.

FollowerWonk also lets you analyze your Twitter followers. With this tool you can find out how influential your current followers are, how many followers they have, etc.
