Here at ImpactWatch, we’re not only interested in what people are saying on Twitter, but also the means by which they are saying it. This week, we took a look at some statistics gleaned by our SLURP140 tool from the State of the Union address as well as the WhatsNextDC conference that happened in Foggy bottom a couple of days ago.
The audience sample size in the SOTU address was much larger, but it was also very clear that many more citizens were tweeting from mobile devices and on-the-go. While many DC social-media-types are using stationary applications such as tweet deck on their laptops and smart phones. Using the twitter.com web interface was not even listed in the top 10 sources of tweets during the SOTU, but it ranked third during the conference.
These are a couple of those statistics pages that we pulled from other SLURP140 sites.
