The monetary value of Kenyan Tweets

I did a rather controversial post recently on the monetary value of Kenyan blogs. And today, the growing popularity of the micro-blogging site Twitter in Kenya made me wonder whether Tweets also have a value. And yes, apparently some people sell their Twitter profile background graphic to advertisers at a price based on various factors. You can use What's Your Tweet Worth? to calculate the approximate value of your Tweet per month by simply entering a username into the site. I just ran the applet for 10 of my favourite Kenyan Tweets, and here are the results:

• bankelele: US$40.79/month
  
• feelme: US$29.56/month
• intelligensia: US$64.15/month
• JustDes: US$32.28/month
• kaboro: US$40.82/month
• kenyanpundit: US$44.33/month
  
• louizah: US$44.42/month
• mountainous: US$33.02/month 
  
• RafikiKenya: US$40.76/month
  
• soleaddict1: US$52.91/month
These ten tweets give us a total of US$423.04. That's about KShs 34,000 - every month. With that kind of budget, the ten of us could organize some nice choma party - every month.


The site doesn’t provide any insights on how the valuation is calculated, so please take this with the usual pinch of salt.
