The second quarter of the Twitter Persona series has produced its first monthly winner. In the month of July, we profiled four Twitter personalities who let us into their individual experiences on the social networking site. That list included @BabaOloriokoBB, @Prodeegy, @sm1hot and @ItsjustAYO. They then took their turns in campaigning for our votes and for the past few weeks, they all been locked in a battle to come out tops for the month of July.

YNaija is delighted to announce that after 130 unique votes on the poll, the winner is ……… *drum roll*…… @Prodeegy! The runner-up is @BabaOloriokoBB who got 30 votes. @sm1hot ended in third position. Here is how the top three finished:

@Prodeegy…………..…………….…….. 60 votes

@BabaOloriokoBB….…………………….30 votes

@sm1hot…………………………………..22 votes

Congratulations to @Prodeegy. What this means is the top three – @Prodeegy, BabaOloriokoBB and @sm1hot – move to the next round. They will be joined by the top three in August and September who will all feature in the first quarterly poll. Voting for the August nominees start in a matter of hours.

About Our Twitter Series:

First there was radio, then satellite television, the internet and now… Twitter! In just a few years, this social networking platform has changed the face of communication and convergence around the world. Even news now breaks on Twitter first! As the connoisseurs of popular culture, YNaija created its Twitter series (Twitter Round-up, Twitter Round-up Xtra & You Tweet) with the aim of profiling this New World of information, connection and – in all honesty – fun! At YNaija we think of Twitter as the new, global office water cooler. Gather round!
