I’ve never noticed it before, but apparently now you can look at your Twitter Activity Dashboard to see which of your tweets are actually being seen. I could already guess which of mine would be the highest ranked this year because I can see which ones get retweeted or favorited, but I thought I’d check to see if I was right.
According to twitter analytics, in the last 28 days I’ve had a few million impressions (Impressions = # of times people saw tweets). That seems like a lot but I’ve written a ton, adopted a new member of the family, captured a possible ghost phantom on camera, joined Instagram, and live-tweeted an unexpected visit to a ghost-town where we were escorted by a bossy emu and several llamas.
I expected that my highest ranked tweet would be the ones I wrote during a particularly terrible night, because they were retweeted and favorited the most:
“90% of the people I know right now are falling apart physically or mentally this week. Be kind. To others and yourself.”
“You’ll get through this. I promise.”
Surprisingly, the actual tweet which blew everything else out of the water (according the analytics) was apparently much more important….
