Users with big followings get superior treatment because smaller users hope for a 'retweet' where the big follower will spread their name to the larger following. I know it sounds confusing but here is an example. David @Pogue of the NY Times was working on a story about Twitter clients and asked for some data. I had it from a reliable source and got it to him as quickly as possible but I was still #2 (out of about 200). Turns out that he didn't acknowledge the 'winner' by name anyway.
