Das freut zu sehen. Aber was wirklich faszinierend war ist die Aus-
wirkung des Wetters auf die Reach der Ads. Dazu werde ich in Kürze einen ausführlichen Blogpost schreiben.

Am nächsten Morgen dann, habe ich meinen Vortrag über Online Reputation und
die Auswirkungen von Social auf SEO und umgekehrt gehalten. Und das in der
ersten Session. Für die 8 km von Sendling bis zum Arabella Hotel habe ich 55 Min.
gebraucht. Wahnsinn. Dafür war das Feedback auf den Vortrag positiv und auch
die anschliessenden Gespräche auf den Gängen der SMX spannend und unterhaltsam.

Freue mich schon auf die SMX Advanced in London.

For me it is still a mystery how this tool calculates the results, but
because it does it the same way for all social requests it is great to
get an impression howsociable you are.

Also you are able to “order” a automatic monthly report and post
your score at twitter, indeed.

Sometimes the tool has a problem with Yahoo results and I wonder
how it can measure information from Xing? The choice of social networks,
social communities and pages is international and well done.

Facebook, Xing, Twitter, Google Wave sind u.a. die Themen des Vortrags
im ersten Panel am 2. Tag auf der SMX in München. Ich bin gespannt und
ein wenig stolz den ersten Social Media Vortrag auf der SMX zu halten.

Letztes Jahr war die SMX Party auf der Rennbahn schon lang.
Ich hoffe, dass dieses Jahr die Teilnehmer am nächsten Tag fit zum
ersten Vortrag kommen

Social Media ist der neue Hype in den Medien. Dabei ist das Thema älter
als das Internet., bekommt nur durch Plattformen wie facebook (300.000.000 Mitglieder),
twitter (55.000.000 Mitglieder) und Google Wave eine neue Marketing Dimension.

Nach dem Zeitalter der Information folgt nun die soziale Epoche der Kommunikation.
Egal, welcher Kanal genutzt wird, es wird versucht sich zu vernetzen und einen Dialog
aufzubauen. Das erfordert aber ganz anderes Denken und neue Ressourcen in den
Unternehmen, da die Kommuniktion nicht einfach automatisiert werden kann.

Aber es bleibt immer die spannende Frage. Wie kann ich Social Media monterisieren?
Für wen ist das Social Web interessant? Und wer kann es nutzen? Und wie?
Dafür habe ich eine Formel entwickelt und einen Chart, der zeigt, wie die Marke
mit dem Thema Social Media und der Atomisierung der Zielgruppen umgehen kann:

Markenkommunikation im Social Media

Zur Zeit existieren 55.000.000 Twitteraccounts, aber nur etwa
16,8% der Accounts werden wirklich aktiv genutzt. Bei Facebook
hingegen ist der Aktivitätsindex bei fast 90%.

Zumal auch noch viele Twitterer das Prinzip Dialog nicht
verstanden haben und viele Unternehmen versuchen Dell
nachzumachen, was nicht mal so einfach ist.

Ich bin gespannt, wie es bei twitter weitergeht. Ich bin ganz
froh, dass ich meinen Twitteraccount auch mittels facebook
betreiben kann.

Summary

Over the past few months, Twitter has experienced explosive growth, attracting celebrity users such as Oprah, and a growing mountain of media and blog coverage. Sysomos Inc., one of the world’s leading social media analytics companies, conducted an extensive study to document Twitter’s growth and how people are using it. After analyzing information disclosed on 11.5 million Twitters accounts, we discovered that:

• 72.5% of all users joining during the first five months of 2009.
• 85.3% of all Twitter users post less than one update/day
• 21% of users have never posted a Tweet
• 93.6% of users have less than 100 followers, while 92.4% follow less than 100 people.
• 5% of Twitter users account for 75% of all activity
• New York has the most Twitters users, followed by Los Angeles, Toronto, San Francisco and Boston; while Detroit was the fast-growing city over the first five months of 2009
• More than 50% of all updates are published using tools, mobile and Web-based, other than Twitter.com. TweetDeck is the most popular non-Twitter.com tool with 19.7% market share.
• There are more women on Twitter (53%) than men (47%)
• Of the people who identify themselves as marketers, 15% follow more than 2,000 people. This compares with 0.29% of overall Twitter users who follow more than 2,000 people.

“We wanted to take an extensive snapshot of Twitter that goes far beyond anything done to document Twitter’s use, growth and demographics,” said Nick Koudas, Sysomos’ co-founder and chief executive. “While Twitter’s growth has been well documented, we wanted to put the spotlight on how people use Twitter, as well as identify many of the key trends in their backgrounds, demographics and activity. Our study, based on the most comprehensive dataset of Twitter users, provides a wealth of information for anyone interested in getting in-depth details about Twitter.”

Twitter’s Hockey Stick-Like Growth in 09

The Facts: Since the beginning of the year, 72.5% of Twitter users have signed up for the service. This includes 22.7% of total users in March and 19.7% in April.

So what accounted for the tremendous growth in March and April? In March, Twitter started to attract significant media attention after Compete.com reported that the number of Twitter users had skyrocketed in February.

In April, Twitter’s profile was enhanced when Ashton Krutcher (aka @aplusk) waged a public race against CNN to be the first to have one million followers. Then, on April 17, talk show celebrity Oprah Winfrey (aka @oprah) started using Twitter, making her first Tweet on her show with help from Twitter co-founder Ev Williams.

Although April did show impressive growth, it was also the first time in nine months that Twitter had a decline in month-over-month growth.

Twitter Self-Disclosed Age Demographics

The Facts: Based on a sample set of users who disclosed their age, 65% of Twitter users are under the age of 25

Note: Only 0.7% of users disclosed their age, with younger users showing a higher probability of doing so. Still, the statistics suggest Twitter is growing in popularity among younger people.

Number of People Followed

The Facts: 92.4% of Twitter users follow less than 100 people, while 97.8% of Twitter users follow less than 400 people. At the other end of the extreme, 0.94% of Twitter users follow more than 1,000 people.

Number of Followers

The Facts: 93.6% of Twitter users have less than 100 followers, while 98% of users have less than 400 followers. Meanwhile, 1.35% of users have more 500 followers, and only 0.68% of more than 1,000 followers.

Followers vs. Following Activity

Fast Fact: Until people have 150 followers, they follow about the same number of people. After that, this starts to break down. Twitter users who are follow 950 people, for example, are only followed by 531.

The More Followers, the More You Tweet

Fast Fact: As Twitter users attract more followers, they tend to Tweet more often. This is particularly evident once someone has 1,000 followers the average number of Tweets/day climb from three to six. When someone has more than 1,750 followers, the number of Tweets/day rises to 10.

Tweets/Day

The Facts: 85.3% of Twitter users update less than once/day; while 1.13% Twitter users update more than average of 10 times a day.

Twitter Activity

The Facts: As many people have speculated, a small group of Twitter users account for the bulk of activity. Sysomos discovered that 5% of users account for 75% of all activity, 10% account for 86% of activity, and the top 30% account for 97.4%

How Active Are Twitter Users?

The Facts: 50.4% of Twitter users haven’t updated their status in the last seven days.

Twitter Activity by Day of Week

The Facts: Based on a sample of 20 million Tweets, Tuesday is the most popular day for Twitter activity, accounting for 15.7% of total activity; followed by Wednesday (15.6%) and Friday (14.5%)

Twitter Activity By Time of Day

The Facts: During the day, the most Twitter activity happens from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. (EST)

Publishing Tools

The Facts: More than half of Twitter users (55%) use something other than Twitter.com. TweetDeck is the most popular non-Twitter.com publishing tool with 19.7% market share, while Twitterfon had 4.5% and Twitterfeed 3.8% share.

iPhone Users on Twitter

The Facts: Not surprisingly, the majority of iPhone owners using Twitter are located in the U.S.

Note: These numbers are based on the number of iPhone users who use their devices to update their Twitter status. It also reflects higher penetration rates of  the iPhone in the U.S.

Top Twitter Countries

The Facts: US is the biggest Twitter country by population, followed by UK, Canada and Australia.

Fastest Growing Cities

The Facts: The cities with the biggest Twitter populations are New York, Los Angeles, Toronto, San Francisco and Boston. Los Angeles is the fastest growing city in the list.

Most Common Keywords in Twitter Profiles

The word cloud below shows a list of common words in bio of Twitter users.

Twitter Communities

We analyzed our entire Twitter collection of 11.5 million users to identify communities. While the notion of a community is admittedly open to multiple interpretations, in our case we adopted the following intuitive definition: we seek to identify sets of Twitter users that are tightly “connected” in terms of following each other. Our results are astonishing:

• There are communities on Twitter for nearly any topic! Sample communities include users interested exclusively on children’s books, lounge music, new parents, lawyers, state politics, city events, etc.
• The denser the community, the more specific the topics of interest. One for example, can easily observe a tightly coupled community of mothers interested exclusively on children’s books, as well as a loosely coupled communities of individuals interested in politics in the U.S.
• Communities tend to be of manageable size (in accordance with known theories in sociology)

We will be updating our blog (blog.sysomos.com) with Twitter communities.

Methodology

Sysomos analyzed more than 11.5 million Twitter accounts, including the indexing of user profiles and status updates. Location and age information is based on information disclosed in their profile pages. Genders are based on the analysis of user’s real names as disclosed against extensive lists of male and female names. Statistics for social media marketers is based on users who mention their profession in their profiles as social media practitioners, online marketers, and pr professionals.

Note: this survey report was produced in May and, as a result, hence data for May 2009 is not complete.
