Last week, I saw a fascinating post from one of the accounts I follow on Twitter (or 𝕏) sharing her "Twitter crush."
Intrigued, I dove into the concept, wondering what exactly it means to have a Twitter crush and how people calculate it.
Here's what I found.

What is a Twitter Crush?
A "Twitter crush" is a lighthearted way to describe the person you interact with most on Twitter. This interaction could be liking, replying to, retweeting their posts, or even tagging them in your tweets.
It's a fun way to showcase the connections you’ve formed and highlight someone who’s been a significant part of your online interactions.
How is your Twitter Crush calculated?
Several tools analyze your Twitter engagement to identify your most frequent interactions. They look at patterns such as:
➡️ How often you reply to someone's tweets.
➡️ The number of likes or retweets exchanged.
➡️ Tagged mentions in conversations.
The result? A list of your top Twitter interactions, sometimes presented in creative formats like videos or images.
A Word of Caution
⚠️ Before diving into these tools, it’s important to note that they are not officially approved or partnered with Twitter.
While many people use them for fun, sharing your account information with unofficial tools could pose risks to your account security.
Always be cautious when connecting your Twitter account to any external platform.
