I was building a Twitter application to get the feeds from Twitter for a Social Event and to get the target audience and calculate the influence of the Twitter User.
When we think about the influence, the first question pops up is - How do we calculate the influence of a Twitter User.
One of the simplest approach is Friends/Followers Ratio
In Twitter, we have a concept of Friends and Followers. If a Twitter User is a Celebrity or a Leader then he/she will be having more no# of followers compared to Friends.
If the (no# of Followers) / (No# of Friends) is greater than 10, then we tag that Twitter User has highly influential. Based on my experience, if the (no# of Followers) / (No# of Friends) greater than 3, can be considered as influential user.
You can check the below URL to understand the Friends/Followers Ratio

You need to get the tweets and User Profile to identify the area of influence for a particular User.
The other approach to using Klout Score. You need to register the application in http://developer.klout.com/member/register.
I will be covering the integration with Klout API in my next blog.
