Tweeteffect

March 19th, 2009

Ever since I signed up for Qwitter it hasn’t worked for me (I’ve already chatted with someone over there and he was delightful, so now I’m being patient) – but I just found a site I may use in the meantime.

I don’t know if I entirely trust it, but I like the idea of it. Tweeteffect is essentially Qwitter in that it shows you how many friends you lost or gained during your past 200 Tweets. It has a great color code that simply shows you if you had an increase or decrease in followers after a Tweet. It also bolds certain Tweets if the increase or decrease in followers happened in less than five minutes.

The only thing I don’t like about it is that there seems be a 5-hour delay (for me at least). But I guess that’s not a huge problem.

While I don’t want this to impact my Tweets, I do think it shows me which ones work best in the community. For example, I’ve now learned that people don’t like hearing about local weather. Done. People love knowing quirky stories. Good to know.

Welcome!

Hi, thanks for stopping by.

The past year has brought about many changes -- one, I'm no longer at the Chicago Tribune. After a great two years there, I've moved on to Creative Director at Consumer Media Network. I'm also no longer "acmaurer" technically, since I married my best friend in June '11. I'm now Amanda Woodhead, but between you, me and the Internet, I'll always be acmaurer. So thanks again for stopping by, and here's to some great conversations.

Want to find me on the Web? I'm acmaurer on most social news and networking sites.
PS, I doubt I have to say this, but this is my personal blog and doesn't reflect the opinion of my employer.
