For example, I like to Google Fight. To your point about Nagios, I'll even take my lumps here (for now): http://tinyurl.com/2vn6vq ;) @Jack - I do agree it’s great fun.

Nagios & twitter would seem to bear out that if you're in early enough you're pretty tough to overhaul. I can't think of anything that has been less reliable than twitter...doesn't seem to have done it any harm though. @Mark - I agree, I think the tool is more interesting than the data in this instance.

I think that it's a long ways away before we start looking at Twitter to measure popularity especially at those numbers. I am more interested in the Tweet Volume as a cool tool on top of Twitter. I saw another neat Twitter tool last week called Tweet Peek - http://www.twitterpeek.com that collates all the tweets for a specified group. That would be interesting to track all open source management companies/projects as a whole. I'll try to set one up in my "free" time. Interesting metric Jack.

I thought that it would be an interesting, though not especially significant, metric for comparing open source projects. The graph above shows the number of twits in which Zenoss, Nagios, Hyperic, OpenNMS or MRTG were mentioned according to the TweetVolume algorithm. The graph once again shows that Nagios is ahead of everybody.
