Find Out What All Those Tweets Mean At TagWalk!

Of all the social networks on the Internet, Twitter seems to be the one that is both the most trendy and least useful.  Limited to 140 characters, Twitter is basically an extended message board for your life where you keep anyone who might be interested up to date on where you are, what you are doing and/or what thoughts are going through your mind.  While Twitter might not be a bastion of deep thoughts or profound ideas, Twitter actually embodies perfectly the “social” part of social networking.  More than any other social network, Twitter acts as a barometer of just what is hip, trendy, and popular in the world at any given moment.  Twitter is the snapshot of both popular culture and current events.  But, seeing the big picture Twitter is trying to reveal can be hard.  For that, you need TagWalk.

TagWalk is a data analysis site that looks at Twitter.  Updated at least monthly, TagWalk is a site preoccupied with deriving meaning from the millions of Tweets in the Twitterverse.  The statistical analysis that TagWalk performs provides a simple-to-use and easy-to-understand collection of data on how people use Twitter.  These statistics range from a presentation of the fifty most popular words used in Tweets to the 30 Tweeters who have tweeted the most over the course of the month!

What makes TagWalk cool is the way it can help you connect with other interesting people and distill out all of the fluff from Twitter to see what is truly important.  So, for example, in recent weeks, Selena Gomez has been a trending topic on Twitter a lot.  However, in the aggregate statistics provided by TagWalk, her name does not appear.  Instead, over the course of the month, #GOP, #Iran, and #jobs all have a presence.  This indicates that while news about Selena Gomez might pop up to capture Twitter users’ attention, more important things like employment statistics, politics and impending nuclear war remain as more enduring concerns for people.

Another way TagWalk is exceptionally interesting is it reveals who are the real movers and shakers in the world.  So, for example, in Tweets written in English, thirteen of the fourteen most tweeted pictures that were popular for the month of March came from Adam Deacon.  Similarly, the thirty most popular links shared through Twitter for the month came from Adam Deacon (10) and Gemma Cairney (17 of the 30!).  This tells us that obscure British rappers and radio stars/fashion stylists share more that people care about in the English speaking (or Tweeting) world than politicians or other celebrities!

TagWalk is fun to check in on to see what trending topics actually endure, as well as where people who use Twitter go after using the site.  This might help advertisers and bloggers more effectively use Twitter to drive traffic to their own sites.  That can make TagWalk useful and very cool!
