How the #EUW18 Leader board was tracked ...

The #EUW18 #Twitter stat's have been crunched, checked & rechecked ... As per the usual process, stats are for a 7 day period around European Utility Week , from Fri 2nd Nov to Fri 9th Nov ...

Over the 7 days; 27.3M Impressions, 5,600 tweets, 2,100 unique users ... Impressive stats for an #energy event ... ??????

I started tracking the events hashtag for the past few years with Hashtagify, simply as a big of fun and to see who's doing what on Twitter... It's fair to say it's now taken on a life of it's own, with a real sense of 'gamification' going on between people and companies...

So for transparency, here's how I've been tracking the numbers ...

• Why I use a 7 day period for the stats just be be consistent
• What happens if you change the date range...
• How stats change if you use a different tool with a different algorithm, like KeyHole ...

So for #EUW19, it might be an item for the Advisory Committee to decide on what algorithm & tool to use to track next years stats, simply so it's transparent to all and everyone know where the goal posts are ?? ...

Have a look ... Comments welcome ...
