How to get value from Twitter events Hashtags with The Archivist. @Microsoft and Social Media
I’ve been using Microsoft’s excellent foray into social media tools, The Archivist, for a few weeks to extract some valuable information from Twitter events’ hashtags. This involves signing up with your Twitter handle at The Archivist site, entering your #Search terms and off you go. After looking at many similar tools, this one nails it!
Not only do I get a snapshot of twitter activity, it gives me
- the feed data to play with or download in XLS format,
- top links tweeted,
- top tweeters — useful for improving the quality of people to follow, and of course,
- the tweets to scan through for any interesting goodies/snippets.
Have a look at the three I’ve created so far:
The recent TedXMelbourne event
and the StartupVisa Initiative in the USA that has delivered amazing results!
If you’ve found a better tool to get a snapshot of events, please let me know in the comments below…
Enjoy The Archivist!
