Twitter once again played a huge role in the ESRI user conference, with many attendees, Esri staffers, and exhibitors using the social service to communicate with attendees and those watching from a distance. We take a look at some of the stats that resulted from all the Tweeting.
An interesting blog post over on the Esri UC Insider blog takes a look at some of the stats and trends for Twitter usage during the recently held Esri user conference (#ESRIUC). Some cool graphics show the most active tweeters and an archive of tweets from the plenary are also provided. Whats very cool about this is that you or your company can use the very awesome Twapper, analytics tool, to review all the tweets from the week. Users can specify a date range (perhaps you are only interested in tweets during a certain session time or ??), you can also search out a hashtag or text string, or take a look at all the tweets from a specific user (like @gletham) .
The service also enables you to dump the contents of a query for further analysis.. way cool! Interesting that the app even reveals details of people that have searched out your tweet history. See http://twapperkeeper.com
Looking even closer at the Twitter usage at the ESRIUC# we found the following interesting stats. Using Summarizr (http://summarizr.labs.eduserv.org.uk/?hashtag=ESRIUC) we examined the ESRIUC stats and found the following:
80% (8000) of the tweets in this Twapper Keeper archive were made by 21% (238) of the twitterers.
The top 10 twitterers account for 17% of the tweets.
