This Thanksgiving I wanted to give thanks to the development team that made myTPSreport.com a reality: the Cougar Team. More specifically, I want to thank @mathiask and @chimoose for making the Cougar Team exist.
But enough with the sappiness already, right? I’ve got something to show you that you may find interesting:
Analyze This
Since its inception, you’ve always been able to analyze a search term’s tweet stream by its associated words right underneath the map view.
For example, if you were to search #twit2fit in myTPSreport.com, you’d find out that @jasonfalls is mentioned with a number of tweets containing #twit2fit.
That’s pretty cool, if you’re looking to get some context around the term you’re searching for in general. But what if you wanted to find out about your search term in relation to time?
I’m glad you asked. The team has created a way for you to view tweets over time, both by day and aggregated over time. Tweet metrics, if you will…
For a little explanation, the blue line shows spikes in tweets on any given day. So if you see a spike in the blue line, it means that a lot of people tweeted about your search term that day. The orange line gives you a cumulative total of all the tweets. The slope of the orange line correlates with the height of the blue line for any given day. The steeper the slope on the orange line means a higher high point on the blue line.
What Do You Think?
Everybody on the team digs this new graph, but we’re really interested to find out what you think. Is this a great new feature, or are you all like, “meh?” Please let me know in the comments below.
