Graph options

• By tweets: This version of the graph is the most basic and simply shows how many tweets there have been on a given topic.
• By audience: This graph weights each tweet by the number of followers that the person who posted it has. This gives a better idea of not just how many tweets have been made on a topic but how many people might have seen this tweet.
• By significance: This graph weights all tweets based on what we call the significance of the Tweeter. Our significance score is calculated from the number of followers squared divided by the numer of tweets the user has made. This means that tweets from tweeters who have lots of follower but rarely post tweets will be the most significant.

This free version of TWEETLECTION provides a random sample of tweets from the last seven days. The sampling frequency is calculated automatically to give an approximately constant sample size.
