Roger Federer also tops the Swiss Twitter list. He is the only Swiss star to have more than one million followers. Unlike on Facebook, however, he is not alone in this number, but is closely followed by Michelle Hunziker (963'000 followers). With 12'000 followers, Federal Councilor Alain Berset narrowly ensures that politics is also represented in Switzerland's top 20. (hae)
