@RebekahHarriman: @RossIGrant: @ponkey_60 – this one is interesting because usually she protects her tweets. She unprotected them for me so I could create the graph. I wonder if people with protected tweets typically have smaller networks? @douglasgresham: @tgrevatt is having a lot of conversations!! With a lot of people who have a lot of conversations. […]
I’d like to say a big thankyou to @CoureyGetsMoney for following me (3,109 Following 2,831 Followers). His bio reads: Thanks for checking out my page im a real cool guy making 12,000 a month working from home with GDI I suspect he’s lying about his income and about being a “real cool guy”. I also […]
I’ve frankly been amazed by the number of hits I’ve had on my Twitter Graphs since I put them up yesterday. This is the first phase of something I’m working on, so I’m going to write a little about the logic behind it here. Suggestions or thoughts are very welcome! There was a time when […]
UPDATE 9/10: Insight into how this works and the rationale behind this in this post. So after my last post I received a couple of graph requests. Here’s @map_maker‘s, see how I’ve added the directionality. This one took a long time to build. She talks to a lot of people who talk to a lot […]
This is what I’ve been working on lately – it graphs who you’re having a conversation with on Twitter (and who they’re having a conversation with). I’ve got some more stuff to add to it, but I’m pretty happy with how little time this has taken (coding time, perhaps 10 hours?). There were 3 phases […]
I love Twitter, but a lot of people seem to think it’s completely pointless. So I find myself having these conversations where I try and convince people it’s not completely stupid, actually I’ve even convinced a couple of them to give it a go. I’ve laid out my arguments below. Information Gathering There are tons […]
I got an email from my dad the other day, asking me what I used Twitter for. I wasn’t sure why he was asking so I asked for clarification and got this response: “Just discussing Social Networking it would help to know why you use it and what you get from it”. “Social Networking” is […]
Twitter has a load of random uses. So far, I feel they fall into 4 categories: making things tweet, ridiculous, heart-warming and innovative. Making things tweet: an office beer tap, pets, plants, unborn babies, laundry machines, electricity consumption meter, the oven, a chair, a rocket, a house, your server. Ridiculous: promote your brothel (Twitter might […]
There was a point on Twitter where it seemed like every day I’d check my email and discover that I’d been followed by yet another “Marketing Expert”. I had to wonder how many there were… WeFollow was the obvious way to do this. So I made my way through the list, hacked some URLs and […]
This morning I found a spammer who I actually have a grudging admiration for. They’ve been a little more creative than posting a headless picture of a young (hot) girl or mass following anyone who mentions whatever they’re pushing in the hope they follow them back. Check them out: http://twitter.com/SkiClubs At the moment of writing […]
