The Red Rocket's Twitter Stats - Feb 09
One of my favourite Twitter applications at the moment is Tweetstats - basically a Dave Gorman-style graphing tool about your Twitter usage. If you’ve been tweeting for a while, it’s quite interesting to have a look at when and how you use Twitter… well interesting to me anyway.
I found that my spikes, not surprisingly, are when I get in to work, then around 11am (cup of tea time), lunchtime and around 4pm (usually another cuppa). I also discovered that the people I respond most to are @smginger, @adambird, @jojamieson, @dan_bowsher, @stedavies and @petemarcus - three of whom are ex colleagues that I used to bore to death with all this online PR stuff and all worth a follow.
On a practical level I’m not sure how useful it really is. Journalists, who most of us technology PR types follow, are massive Twitter users. The Guardian’s Charles Arthur, for example, tweeted 1,202 times in January and only seems to put the keyboard down to sleep.
Self-styled “vice president of Twitter” @stephenfry has tweeted 443 times already in February, compared to 298 times in January and his tweet distribution runs throughout the day and night.
Apart from the odd 10am breakfast tweet, Jonathan Ross (@wossy) on the other hand doesn’t get online until after lunch. The person he replies to most? No, not celeb chums David Baddiel or Russell Brand, but @matt49er (whoever he is)?
Like I say, its real benefit – apart from stalking celebs or checking up on colleagues - isn’t that obvious, but I do love a good graph.
