Twitter Introduces Tweet Analytics for All Users

It has been an interesting week in the social media world, with
Facebook finally deploying hashtags; and Twitter, the microblogging
giant, now deploying analytics tools for the public.
Twitter introduced the analytic toolquietly this week as it shores up
itstools for surviving the mounting competition in the social media
market, as well as making money directly.
The twitter analytics tool gives everyone access to in-depth data
about their followers, as well as the performance of their tweets.
To access the new features, users need to log in to the Twitter Ads
dashboard [ https://ads.twitter.com/] and click on the 'Analytics'
button at the top of the page.
Until now, the ads dashboard for Twitter was only open to businesses
who want to pay to display their tweets to a specific audience or
promote the user's account, Twitter's most lucrative revenue stream.
The analytics dashboard is arranged in two compartments: the first, a
top timeline bar, displays a graph that shows the use a snapshot of
number of mentions, follows and unfollows that they received over the
last month. The second chamber underneath is a detailed list that
shows most recent tweets, the number of times someone has favourited,
retweeted or replied to their tweets.
The list also shows the number of clicks on the link contained in a
tweet. Users can download a CSV [Comma Separated Values] file of the
data for the user's own personal records.
