After putting together the most recent version of my “Science of ReTweets” presentation and putting it up on Slideshare, I got a lot of great feedback, including that it’s a little hard to understand without my explanations along with each slide.
So I pulled all the data together (including some I’ve never published on this blog) with the basic transcript of the talk I give for each slide into one 22 page PDF. That report has already been featured on Fast Company and if you want to get a copy of it, all you have to do is subscribe to my blog, either by RSS or email:
Once you’ve subscribed, you’ll see a link at the end of each post (including this one) that you can click to download the report.
And if you liked this, don’t forget to buy my book.
If you liked this post, don't forget to subscribe to my RSS feed or my email newsletter so you never miss the science.

I've subscribed and am looking forward to digging into it your report once I can find that download link
— one thing that interests me is the Fast Company article showed a graph showing days later in the week as being high RT days- but your previous findings suggested that early in the week was better– I wonder if this is due to the new demographic makeup of Twitter from it's explosive growth (which occured after you shared your original findings in January)

Dan, thanks for putting this together. Your data on what makes certain messaging “reTweetable” is extremely valuable, and this is the kind of research and data that will continue to make earned media measurable, actionable and profitable.

I found it once I subscribed via RSS and updated my RRS view to full post.
My expectations were that I would receive an autoresponder email with the link. But it turns out that I have to wait until the day after a blog post goes up to get the email.
Will that work for a post that is already up? Won't I just get a link to the latest post?

This is great! It's always nice to have some quantitative data to help explain in which cases retweeting occurs even though we may be intuitively able to guess some of the factors.

My only question is, I know this report at this point is over ten months old, and there was a big difference between the data here & earlier blog posts I’ve seen you write on the same topic. Is the data in this report still accurate?
