We’ entered a new phase where we are getting ready to open up Tweettronics to more users. We want to work with those who want to get the best, most accurate metrics and to provide users with the data and tools needed to measure and improve their efforts to bring attention to their brands, products, and services.

We’ve rolled out a bunch of new features for tracking brands on Twitter, including daily alerts, comparison charts, new trend graphs, and the ability to download data so you can make your own charts.

There’s a new dashboard showing the current and moving averages of key indicators, and highlighting of the most volatile changes.  And there’s new ways to slice and sort and view what’s going on in Twitter.

And we’ve started a 30 day free trial and pricing designed to make Tweettronics a high-value, low-risk decision.

New Feature: Target URL Mentions and support of ROI measures.

We’re trying out a new feature: Target URL Mentions.   Tweettronics extracts and counts each of the URLs it finds in a tweet, and if it’s a URL from a URL shortening service like tinyurl.com or bit.ly, it will walk the URL and get the target URL.  It will then count up all target URL mentions and present them.

You can correlate the mentions against the actual target page hits to see what sort of return (ROI) you are getting between the mentions and actual URLs being hit.

For instances of such ROI comparisons, see: http://www.pageonepr.com/blog/2009/06/11/using-cost-per-click-for-social-media-roi, and http://blog.socialmediasurfer.com/2009/06/social-media-cost-per-click-analysis.html.

Twitter Population Profile

We currently have information on the profiles of about 6 million twitter users, which is more than staticstically significant. On a daily basis we do random samples of the population and look for patterns.   Here’s some items of interest:

40% of users have zero followers (a share of these are because they’ve been suspended by Twitter)

56% of users have fewer than ten followers

80% of users have few than 65 followers

99% of users have fewer than 1760 followers

Friendship peaks more quickly than follower count, which indicates that friendship continues to have some meaning.

24% of users have no friends

99% of users have fewer than 1990 friends

We will look to see if there is general inflation of counts. We suspect there is while Twitter is on a popularity rampage and people are experiementing with their social behavior thorugh the service.  We’ll see if our intuition on this is right at a later date.

This is also worth looking at when thinking about these numbers:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunbars_number
