Twitter has made its analytics dashboards available to all its users. You can now find data on how many people have seen and clicked on tweets from your account and get real-time information on engagement, retweets, replies, favorites and clicks for a tweet.
The tool also provides information that only third-party applications could serve until now, such as statistics on number of followers gathered over a two-year period, as well as detailing their sex, interests and location.
This feature was at first only available for advertisers and verified users and there is a help guide and FAQ on its Help Centre website. To access the services, you would need to login with your Twitter details on https://analytics.twitter.com/about .
Hootsuite Rocks the IBM Business Tech Trends!
From our Business Tech Trends study, we learned the 3 secrets that Pacesetters - those enterprises who stay ahead of the pack - are doing to create the most success. One of the secrets is integration of transformative technologies, such as cloud, analytics, mobile and social.
Kevin Zellmer of Hootsuite said during our August 21 webcast that at any one time, Hootsuite has at least a dozen integrations happening! And they're happening internally and externally.
Hootsuite has a new feature that allows employees to share third party social media content on IBM Connections across their entire organization. HR isn't just talking to HR and marketing isn't just talking to marketing anymore. This kind of integration allows for organization-wide collaboration!

Trends on Social ! Pacesetters are more than 6X more to use social to improve experience
We just published our new Business Tech Trend report with over 1400 decision makers. From this report, take a look at gains in Social deployment over the last 2 years. It is up 106%
Then we studied the Pacesetters. Pacesetters are those who have dedicated their competitive focus through technology and are seeing better business value.
But what I find most exciting -- is the way these Pacesetters are using Social. They 6X more likely to use Social for communication and to improve client experience. In addition, they use social 3X more than those laggards for expanding into new segments and markets.
