Yesterday’s blog, #NMATL, and @chrisbrogan notes! And Yes Twitter!

October 20, 2009 · Posted in Big Business, Musings, Small Business, Social Media · Comments 

Yesterday I wrote a blog on using twitter for notes and used Chris Brogan’s speech at NMATL as an example of pulling twitter data for notes. I also decided to run some stats on the information I found and posted those stats. Quite frankly the stats are meaningless to anybody and everybody other than perhaps Chris and maybe Brad and Matt who organized the event. You can read the entire post here.

So why did I run the stats? Well imagine if instead of Chris Brogan’s speech we instead inserted Big Company Name X and looked at the same data. What useful information might we find? How could we use the information to better understand what our customers are thinking of us NOW! How many are tweeting about us? What words are they consistently using? I used a dump of twitter data and Excel pivot tables to come up with the stats I posted yesterday in merely 10 minutes for the fun of it (I’m strange I know) what could you learn about your company’s reputation in 10 minutes.

What is Twitter good for (Part Deux)!

October 19, 2009 · Posted in Musings · Comments 

When I last wrote about What is Twitter good for I left out one huge thought. I have found twitter to be the best note taking mechanism out there. It is also the best note sharing mechanism available on today’s market. Here’s why:

1) Must take short and important notes – 140 characters ensures that you only capture the most important statements and allows you to keep you attention focused on the speaker.

2) Other people are taking notes on the same lecture or topic at the same time so if someone captures something you missed you can re-tweet it and add it to your twitter stream.

This method is fantastic because you can now do group note taking and gain huge benefits from the process. Additionally you can see what others value from a seminar or speech. OhYeah you don’t want to forget to use a Hashtag for your event.

Here are some notes from the speech Chris Brogan gave at NMATL – New Media Atlanta event held a few weeks back. (please note I have removed any spam that I found).

First some stats:

  • There were 192 unique twitters that were tweeting related topics during Chris’s speech.
  • @AtlantaPR tweeted 36 tweets during his speech
  • At 2:19 during Chris’s speech there 21 simultaneous tweets.  Most of them were – “Promote others 12x’s more than yourself” or “You should have a $90,000 person doing your social media, its that important -your rep is on the line.
  • There were 627 tweets related to nmatl from 1:49 to 3:12 while Chris was speaking.
  • Only 586 of those tweets were unique.
  • There were 31 tweets that were duplicates – 3 of those 31 tweets were not recognized as re-tweets.
  • No tweet was re-tweeted more than 4 times.
  • There are a lot of tweets that are not exactly the same but contain the same info.

Here is the list organized by user by time.

What is Twitter good for?

October 9, 2009 · Posted in Musings · Comments 

I just received an email from someone who is asking what Twitter is good for. The gentleman who sent the email has a very successful online community and knows branding and the internet well.  I’ve been amazed at how many times I’ve hear this question and I have to admit at the beginning of this summer I was wondering the same thing. Then I got on and started listening. At first I didn’t find much  because I didn’t know what to listen for or who to listen to  but as I began using tools and search.twitter.com and looking at topics relevent to my blogs and work I have learned what an incredible tool Twitter is.

Twitter provides the fastest information sharing platform ever invented. It is incredible for tracking whats happening at conferences. It proves a platform for communicating with customers  and it is without a doubt a world leading branding platform. The best way to experience Twitter is to get on it. I think a few tools defiantly help enhance the experience. I highly recommend Tweet deck and bit.ly. There are hundreds of more tools but those are a good start.

So the most important part of the question is why is Twitter useful and the truth is the answer is Twitter isn’t useful. Not unless you take the time to understand what your marketing strategy is, how you want to execute it and what you want to communicate. Then Twitter is a tool along with other social media to help execute on that strategy.
