As you all know, I source a lot of forums and Twitter threads (now Mastodon as well) here for the stories that I write. Without the amazing individuals that make up the search industry, this site would not exist. In fact, when I started this site over 19 years ago, its purpose was to cover what the community is buzzing about, and this site remains true to that today.

I thought it would be fun to parse out from all the stories this year which individuals and Twitter handles I cited the most over the past year. So I had one of my developers do some queries to run through and get me a list of the most cited Twitter handles in my stories for the 2022 year. This is in addition to my look back in my 19 year anniversary story – read that if you missed it.

Here are the top cited Twitter handles from this site:
@JohnMu – 480 times
@glenngabe – 168 times
@googlesearchc – 120 times
@b4k_khushal – 117 times
@adsliaison – 101 times
@dannysullivan – 96 times
@brodieseo – 58 times
@SaadAlikhan1994 – 55 times
@punit6008 – 46 times
@MordyOberstein – 37 times
@JoyanneHawkins – 37 times
@type_seo – 35 times
@lilyraynyc – 34 times
@Marie_Haynes – 31 times

@danielwaisberg – 26 times

@Google – 21 times
@mblumenthal – 20 times
@aleyda@aleyda – 19 times
@facan – 18 times
@thesocialdude – 18 times

I’ll give some honorable mentions to @akent99, @VortiConcmdr, @lenraleigh, @bubblesup, @gregfinn, @rangershay, @gfiorelli1, @colannielsen, @charlesfarina, @kristaseiden, @saijogeorge, @methode, @shalomgood, @pedrodias, @okaylizzi, and thousands of more.

Note, this site has cited over 1,400 distinct Twitter handles in our stories in 2022. So while, yes John Mueller was cited in a ton of them, there is a huge diverse number of Twitter accounts I embedded and/or linked to in my stories over the past year.

Thank you to the search industry/community for making this site possible.
