(Community Matters) So, I’m trying to understand the fundamentals of Twitter stats. At Ross Garber’s insistence, I’ve now been tweeting for five weeks. Feel like a total slacker with only 199 followers to date, though relative to my tweets (124%), maybe I’m not doing so bad. I do, however, have a really high percentage following to followers (93%) which I’m told is important to building up followers – not to metion informative, ie., the purpose, right?
I crunched some numbers (totally unscientific since not randomly selected nor a valid sample size) – nevertheless, among many of the most active tweeters in Austin, the average following to followers is 56% and average [corrected] followers to tweets is 56%. I segregated new media journalists – their numbers 27% and 159%, respectively. And, the super stars (in this case: Barack Obama, Lance Armstrong and Doug Ulman) yield 9% and over 200k%, respectively – the President in the mid 6 figure range, Lance & Doug in the low and medium five figure range on followers to tweets.
Wanna help me out – follow me here 🙂
