Trst.me (from Infochimps ) relies on calculating user reputation instead of just seeing how many followers they have as a deciding factor.  The first thing I noticed about how they compile the information is that they have been compiling Twitter information since 2008 using the API.  This gives them a good base to begin measurement. You enter a username into the single box on the page to have it compute a score ranking of 1-10.  Read More →

UMapper is a neat little tool I was sent a link to investigate.  It can actually map anything into a custom map, but tweets are our focus here.  I created a map for a recent conference, easily zooming into the city it was held.  Surprisingly, it was fast and a great way to see what people were talking about with their avatars showing. The engine is so powerful and I would encourage you to watch the tutorials as well as make some for your... 

We know when everyone usually tweets, so why not reverse engineer it and find when they sleep using SleepingTime .  There is only one box to fill in, and that is the person’s Twitter id.  No authentication is required so protected tweet streams will not be possible.  Humorously this could also show when someone works and are not allowed to tweet as well. You are presented with a clock showing the red areas that they tend not to tweet... 

MyTweetMap is a very simple Google Maps mashup offered by a school district.  You enter your Twitter username and password (no oAuth) and it starts mapping out your friends locations.  It was fast responding for a few hundred people that I follow.  Otherwise, not too exciting and you cannot fully act on the tweets.  Great for a quick showing geographically of who you follow.  Read More →

Twitter Sentiment makes reading the pulse of the Twittersphere a breeze.  Enter any term or word, the default right now is NBC Olympics, and get graphs and recent tweets on the mood about that topic.  You will get a percentage pie chart, a number count and the words used.  Enter your own term and simply click  submit. Below that a zoomable graph of the last week shows the trend with counts.  You can scroll back and forth in date ranges... 

GraphEdge stayed out of our vision for a while, reasons unknown.  Yet they offer a great service from testing…. as shown in their screenshot here: There is numerous tools provided with the service including: How many of your followers you’re really reaching How quickly your network is growing (or shrinking!) Who’s dumping you Who your most influential followers are, and how to reach them Who else your followers are following... 

Ad.ly is an ad network for Twitter, but also offers an analytics service, via a partnership with PeopleBrowser, that is quite a nice tool.  It analyzes both your content and audience, all after you log in via oAuth. Here are some of the features: When you tweet compared to when you get retweeted Map overlay of followers some basic demographics how engaged they are your most influential followers Now for the pitches.  They have some buttons... 

Twistory takes a tweet timeline and brings it together with your calendar after it indexes that stream.  There is no authentication necessary, it will index any public page and give an output in Google calendar format, iCal and for anything that supports webcal.  So importing the data itself is quite easy.  What you get on the site when entering the Twitter account is a couple quick graphs, such as my example here: The tweets from the account... 

Trendistic , from Flaptor, looks good and works better.  See the trend over 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days and more.  Tweet your chart or even embed it.  it is all there.  You log in via oAuth to interact, if you wish, or just use it anonymously. It is a tool that allows you to track trends on Twitter, similarly to what Google Trends does for Google searches. It gathers…  Read More →

gtFtr is a very, very new and rudimentary site.  Yet the graph was pretty cool that is showed.  There is only certain exercises supported right now, but the goal is to track how often and how long you do each one.  Steps, calories and distance can be shown in the graph.  Push-ups,m sit-ups and elliptical are all listed right now.  Read More →

TweetWhatYouEat has both a web interface and allows you to send tweet to twye listing food consumption.  The result is a diary of food that, of course, also lives in the public timeline.  you can include calorie counts if you know that too.  I wish the login was oAuth, but that was the only drawback i saw in the simple to use interface.  The date, time, item and calorie are all listed in a chart format. You can track and manage a taboo food... 

TweetPlot started as a way to track and graph calories while out and about.  But you could use it for anything you want to track numerically and graph when done.  A cool way to do miles ran, miles driven, candy bars eaten, number of times you made yourself an ass that day.  I am sure there are millions of uses.  Here is an example of how many times I said the word MySpace the past 14 days  Read More →

Twitalyzer is a must use analytics service for stat junkies! We highly recommend this service to those old and new to Twitter. In fact, you should check in with it every week or two and see how your stats are changing over time. Twitalyzer analyzes 5 different areas of your profile: influence, signal, generosity, velocity, and clout. We won’t explain what they all mean as the service does a thorough job of it. Nevertheless, the assessment...
