Learn How to Measure Your Popularity on Twitter
You've
got followers and post regularly, but ever wondered how popular you are
on Twitter? An online tool that evaluates "tweets" can tell.
Public relations consultancy Edelman recently launched TweetLevel (http://www.tweetlevel.com),
a free tool that measures the importance of a user on the popular
social networking site, how trusted they are as well as the influence
they wield. The
tool uses an algorithm developed by the agency which takes into account
the quality and quantity of "tweets" or micro-blogs of up to 140
characters, and allows users to compare their own importance to that of
anyone they choose to follow.
"Unlike
most rankings that look merely at the number of followers someone has,
TweetLevel gives you a really clear picture of who is important within
this increasingly influential forum," Jonny Bentwood, Edelman's Head of
Strategic Analysis and who created the algorithm, said in a statement.
The
tool gives points to users in four categories -- how many people listen
to what you say; how many people follow you; how actively you
participate and whether people believe you.
Each score is rated out of 100, with the higher your score, the more important you are.
The statement said that entertainment blogger Perez Hilton, Hollywood actor Ashton Kutcher and social media blog Mashable were among the highest scorers on TweetLevel.
