See numbers from September. This project started in December when my employer, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, started using Twitter. The first list included 55 accounts (23 newspapers) and was published in February. Since then, I have added accounts as I find them (or you tell me about them). Did I miss one? Leave a comment or send me an e-mail.

    Erica -

    Loving this list – follow it every month.

    Been wondering if using percentages is really the best measure of growth here though. Noticed our telegraph_sox was the #2 “lost users” this month with -3%. That equals one lost user. On the plus side nashuatelegraph did gain 45 users – but that is only 15%.

    Thanks for crunching all the numbers.

    Thanks, Damon. I’m not sure what else would be an accurate way to measure and compare change. With pure numbers, @nytimes and the other heavy hitters are going to “win” every time. What do you guys think? Is there a better way? Another column that should be added?

    Aloha Friday, Erica. Thanks very much for maintaining this insightful list.

    We’re adding new accounts almost daily now, so the best way to keep track of @latimes is via http://www.latimes.com/twitter. That said, you might add:

    @latimesnews [ex @latimesbreaking]
    @la_now [local L.A. Now breaking news blog]
    @latimestech [Tech blog, now in Technorati top 1000]
    @envelope
    @latimesautos
    @latimesbooks
    @latimesfood
    @latimeshealth
    @latimesimage
    @latreadersrep
    @latimesvideo
    @latimesphoto
    @latimesmoneyco
    @latimessportsblog

    We also have several reporters experimenting with their own individual, manually-curated streams…but I’ll let them speak up for themselves.

    More to come, based on reader interest and feedback.

    Eg, how about @latimesobits?
