  • A Way to Cheat With Follow Friday

    Mark Evans
    20 Nov 2009 | 4:15 am
    Follow Friday (aka #followfriday or #ff) is a great way to give a public shout out to people who you know, do business with, or simply enjoy their work, blog posts or tweets. A problem with Follow Friday is that it happens on, well, Friday, when you’re fried by a long week of work. Unless you are disciplined, thinking about who you want to put on your Follow Friday list can be a challenge. For those of you who fall into this camp, an interest short-cut is The Twitter Tag Project’s Follow Friday! service, which automatically generates a #followfriday tweet that contains people. The…

    The oh-so-mysterious Twitter threw everyone a strange curveball tonight with some big news: It’s changing it’s tagline from “What are you doing?” to “What’s happening?” In a blog post, Biz Stone said: Twitter helps you share and discover what’s happening now among all the things, people, and events you care about. “What are you doing?” isn’t the right question anymore—starting today, we’ve shortened it by two characters. Twitter now asks, “What’s happening?” It’s a small change but figure a…

In terms of analytics, Twitter could offer data such as how many times a tweet has been retweeted, how many times a link within a tweet had been clicked on, geo-location information now that the geotagging API is officially available, as well as information about how often a corporate name and brand has been mentioned over a certain of time. While this…

  • RIP: Twitter’s Suggested Users

    It took longer than it should have but Twitter has finally decided to kill the suggested user list – the one that automatically added 20 high-profile people to follow for all new Twitter users. The list was sophomoric because it was all the cool people culled from a master list of about 500 celebrities, athletes and politicians on Twitter as opposed to provide new users with a useful tool that would help them find people who met their specific interests. In the end, all that suggested users really did was artificially promote the popularity of certain Twitter users such as Ashton…

  • Measuring Your Importance on Twitter

    Earlier today, I stumbled across a really interesting Twitter service called TweetLevel, which was created by Edelman that “measures an individual’s importance on Twitter”. TweetLevel determines your importance by using four metrics: influence, popularity, engagement and trust. Here’s how each metric is defined: - Influence: A combination of the number of posts made, and the number of retweets.- Popularity: The number of followers – the more followers, the higher the score- Engagement: The amount of talk spent responding and talking to other Twitter users- Trust…
