TweetStats.com - A Great Service

If you are an analytics junkie, such as myself, data is your true best friend. As we have covered before there is no end to the number of lame Twitter side-along applications out there, and we all tire of their endless coverage. I understand this, but still wanted to show you TweetStats, which is my favorite of all Twitter services [including one that I helped build].


TweetStats gives you extremely powerful look into your personal Twitter actions. Feed it your Twitter user name, and watch it explain your addiction to service. First, it gives you two graphs, one showing a timeline of tweets per month, and then a graphic of your time tweet density for each day of the week. Take a look at mine [it shows the blank months because I had an unused Twitter account]:

TweetStats goes even further, giving you information on how many tweets you have sent in a specific hour, what clients you use, and also what people you respond to. If you are power user as myself, the information can surprise. In all of my 3,000+ tweets, I have sent only 8 total tweets in the hours of 5 and 6 am, I am after all, not a morning person.

Finally, the service gives you a fun cloud of your most popular used words, and even your top 5 tweeted words. Mine are pathetically generic:
