Interesting Observations

Wanna know more about your twitter followers?

You know there are tons of apps to make it easier for you tweet and know what your ‘friends’ and influencers are doing or saying on twitter but If you ever wanted to know little more about the people who are listening to what you are tweeting about, there is this neat little service called TwitterSheep where you put in your tweet id and it goes through your followers’ profile information to spit out a tag cloud that gives you some idea of what they are all about.  This may not be an exact and probably changes on a daily basis as your stats change based on who leaves your network and who joined.  But still, it was fun to see it.    I was kinda glad to see my followers are in the areas of my interests, social media, entrepreneurship, marketing and of course blogging. 

 

How about your followers?   The site doesn’t require your twitter password so you can be sure it’s safe!

Twitter got me thinking that we are moving closer to telepathy, albeit in a non tradition way (not that telepathy is traditional -lol) These apps just prove my point.

I tried it with my twitter account and found out that most of my tweets are about love and blogger. I don’t know why but how do they measure this words to be clouded, by the density of your own twit or other’s twit?

This is really neat! I’m running all my friend’s usernames through it, just cause….well, I don’t know. Really cool though. Thanks for sharing!

Nice find. TwitterSheep looks cool.

I wish there was a way to take the groups of users in the tag cloud and import them into TweetDeck groups. So you could message people based on similar interests.

hmm… my twittersheep job just completed… I thought I would be able to see the users when I clicked on a topic on the tag cloud. Guess not.

    @Beth: Wouldn’t that be cool? I’d say recommend it to them and may be they’ll build it in :)

    @Mike: you know I did that too just for a couple of people :D

    @Bleuken: the density of tags or words in the cloud is based on frequency of their occurrence in your followers’ profile description, so probably most of your followers are bloggers about love? :D who knows

    @stu: of course, Adam and you must have the same people following you, so it seems to be accurate

    @DSFlyman: lol who knows, twitter seems to be everywhere these days, and it might take over our minds one day and engage them in networking with each other when we are not even logged on :D

    @Argos: sheep!!! We are all united on that front :)

    @Russ: I’m not getting used to Facebook, it’s just too cluttered with all those apps and I cannot stand them..

    @Tom: don’t forget to follow me @tyropearl :)

Twitter is strange beast but I agree that if your network is relevant to your topic of conversation (niche) it will be a lot more effective!

@poster – that’s pretty cool, gonna check the sheep out. twitter is having loads of spin offs, i think that’s a real strong part of its success, it can be implemented into your site in many ways
