A very useful new stats tool has been lauded on Twitter in the past couple of days. TwitterFriends looks like a really useful service for serious twits - if you want to find out how much impact and influence your own tweeting is having on the Twitter community. TwitterFriends provides some quite impressive statistical results, including breakdowns of the 'size of your relevant net' - the number of people you have replied to in the last 30 days, and how many have replied to your tweets. TwitterFriends will also provide you with mean scores (averages) of the number of tweets you send every day, the replies you have sent, how many links you have posted, and how many re-tweets you have sent. There is even a 'green' feature, measuring in 'milliscobles' the cost of your tweeting and following. One of the best features for me though, is the ability to follow individual conversations by isolating them from the main stream and showing every tweet right back to the first one.Finally, for the visual learners among us, there is a Twitgraph representing data mapped across a spiderweb graph to show your overall activities (CQ=conversation quotient, RQ=Retweet quotient and LQ=Link quotient) including your Twitter ranking. You can even compare your own stats to a friends through graphic overlay. Now those of us in education and training need to work out how these features can be harnessed to enhance learning.... Give it a go - I think you'll like it! (Image source: digital-photography-school.com)
