I had a quick look at my followers, how many accounts they are following vs how many accounts follow them and how much they post. Note log scales!

Quite different from the sixty odd followers I had in twitter after ten years. Fun fact, I joined twitter because of a MOOC on Data Visualization.

Scatter bubble plot (log scale on both axis) showing, for each of the ~1.2k followers of the account posting the chart, the count of followers vs the count of following. Number of posts of each account is shown as color map and size (also log scale) of the bubble.
Insights
~300 accounts have not posted at all
About half of the followers have less than ten posts

Hablando de "dietas", foto en un Lidl en Derby (East Midlands, aka not London) de hace un par de semanas, que estuve de visita. También tenían chorizo, jamón, fuet, tortillas de patata... Bastante distinto a hace 25 años.

(También te digo que me alegro de haberme ido de allí y venir a Berlín)
