In about half an hour, that figure had quickly jumped to over 103,000. The account - labeled “The Only Genuine Rush Limbaugh Twitter Feed” - had some 102,000 followers as Limbaugh was announcing his plan to start tweeting. Jacobson, who says he listens to at least a part of Limbaugh’s radio show on most days and whose Twitter handle, was included in Limbaugh’s tweet, said he also gained about 200 new followers in just a few hours. “Five thousand an hour is a lot for me, even during the day.” “I’m getting all sorts of Twitter traffic that I’m not used to getting,” he said. Jacobson told POLITICO Thursday afternoon that based on some simple traffic analysis, the website Legal Insurrection was running some 5,000 page views an hour, with most of the traffic coming from Twitter. The link in this tweet is a blog post written by Cornell Law School professor William Jacobson called “Media Matters astroturfed the Limbaugh secondary boycott.”

During the third hour of his show Thursday afternoon, the conservative radio host announced that he planned to dip his toes into the Twitterverse by officially sending out his first tweet - and minutes later, he did.
