TwitterFriends: Your relevant network on Twitter
What is TwitterFriends?
If you are using Twitter, you probably have a few contacts (= people you follow). Probably more than just a few. If you live a liberal following policy (= if another user follows you, you follow back), then the network of your contact does not have any deeper meaning. But there is a smaller, much more meaningful network hidden behind your total web of followers: the relevant net. TwitterFriends helps you to find the users that are meaningful for you and keep in touch with them. Those could be users you are talking to on a regular basis or who are feeding you great links all the time.
With TwitterFriends you can …
- find out the hidden network of Twitter contacts that are really relevant for you.
- visualize the network of your relevant contacts and their contacts
- see who of your Twitter friends are online this very moment
- read some stats about your Twitter account
- take a look at the most conversational Twitterers or those who are posting the most links
How does TwitterFriends work?
I am a big fan of open measurement standards, so here’s how I am calculating all this at the moment: For the tag cloud of your @replies, I am fetching the 500 most recent tweets you published on Twitter and selecting those that are addressing or referencing another user (@replies). For the tag cloud of the replies to you, I am downloading the 500 most recent tweets that were addressing you. The list of ‘sleepers’ is a list of your contacts sorted after their activity.
