The last few weeks have been kind of hectic for me, so its taken me longer than I’d wanted to update TweetSuite, but I’ve uploaded a new version with some bugfixes and a few new features. If you’re using and like TweetSuite, please consider voting for me in the Shorty Awards. The fixes include: AutoTweeting […]
TweetBacks are great, but they’re just a single feature, the integration of Twitter and blogging can and should go much deeper than that. And if you liked TweetBacks or TweetSuite, please vote for me in the Open Web Awards. So today I’m releasing the first version of TweetSuite, a Twitter-WordPress integration plugin that includes the […]
You should use TweetSuite rather than a TweetBacks plugin. I’ve just put together a WordPress Plugin that take advantage of the new features I built into TweetBacks. This is still beta stuff and you should expect updates to it soon and frequently. For the most part v.2 of the JS version works the easiest. Download […]
Since launching my implementation of TweetBacks a few days ago, the response has been much larger than I expected (in fact Twitter CEO Evan Williams remarked that he had just drawn TweetBacks on the Twitter whiteboard a few weeks ago), and the guys at MediaTemple have been great in working with me to help scale […]
Update: I’ve released a TweetBacks WordPress Plugin that includes TweetBacks as a feature. In response to a Mashable post about how Twitter will change blog design in 2009, yesterday I created Tweetbacks.

Now that my ReTweet mapping system is functioning, I’m able to start compiling more granular data on the actual dynamics of the spread of ReTweet streams. First, I’ll start with some simple averages. For the first 3 numbers –depth, users and Tweets, I’m looking at entire ReTweet streams, that is the whole tree, starting with […]
I’ve been working on a ReTweet mapping system for a while, in fact, I’ve already published some data I accumulated while building it. The idea is to index all ReTweets and map them to each other so that visual display and programmatic analysis can be done on the structure of viral messaging on Twitter. Now, […]
Here’s the slides from my pubcon presentation. I’m not sure how easy they’ll be to read without the accompanying talking, and you may need to use full screen to see the detail in the graphics. I apologize in advance. Let me know what you thought.
You have a Twitter account, and you’re following some people. Some of those people are now following you back and you’re thinking “great, now what?” Or maybe you saw my Viral Tweet Test and are wondering how to accomplish the same effect for your content. In my Viral Content Sharing Survey I uncovered a bunch […]
Yesterday morning I launched a little off-the-cuff experiment in viral marketing via Twitter. I made a simple page on my site that asked people to retweet the link (and I specified a shortened URL from tinyurl to aid in tracking, or so I thought). I also asked people to comment on the page with their […]
