If you’re not on Twitter, you’re not part of any useful conversation, and that’s becoming more and more of a fact.

Even when it comes to SEO, a presence on Twitter helps you astronomically, as well as appearing in Google’s Real-time results.

Evidently, Twitter contains a LOT of noise, from many different brands, but within that noise, there are a couple of companies that are really shining, and influencing the Twitterverse on a daily basis.

Here’s a digest of the best ones we found (and their following/follower ratios to back up their influence). Influence is measured by the disparity of your following/follower ratio, with the follower number being the most important. The more followers you have over and above your following numbers, the higher your Twitter influence.
