SCIENCE OF TWEETING


Sanjivani,


Further to my yesterday's mail re posting of our Investment News ( as REPLY ) on web sites of POPULAR persons or Organizations , look at the following tabulation :

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Handle ................ /  Type....................../  No of Tweets...................../  No of Followers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

@ShivAroor     /     Editor-India Today Magazine  /    46.5 K.................. /     93.3 K

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

@CNBCTV18Live /   TV Channel      /     29.7 K................./    25.2 K

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

@EY_India.........../  Consultancy Firm    /     6531     /    9.8 K

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

@KiranShaw       /    Business Leader    /    16.4   K      /    437  K

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

@KabirBedi      /   Actor Celebrity   /   4433    /   99.3  K

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

@RMantri  /   Venture Capitalist   /   26.3  K    /   13.6  K

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

@ShereenBhan    /  CNBC  TV  Editor   /   9077   /   37.4  K

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Following pattern emerges :


>    Celebrities ( of any type ) have MANY MORE followers ( even if their own No of Tweets are not a large number )

>   The More one tweets , the more no of Followers one acquires ( over a period of time )


If one were to plot a graph of :


*  On X axis................No of Tweets

*  On Y axis................No of Followers ,


then ( I guess ) , it could well be a straight line , with a " Co-efficient of Correlation " close to 1


But , as I said yesterday , while posting our REPLIES ( on the Twitter web sites of above types of persons / organizations ) remember to,

>   No more than 2/3 posts ( replies ) on any given web site per day

Our REPLIES must have some RELEVANCE / CONNECTION to the SUBJECT of the original tweet

Of Course , there are some very SENIOR MINISTERS or GOVT SECRETARIES , who manage to post ONE tweet in 2/3 months !

Avoid them  !

Obviously , no one visits their Twitter web site and they must have only VERY FEW followers  !
