Analyze Twitter User Stats

Some people use Twitter to do nothing but post updates from their web site. Others use it to chat with friends. There’s nothing wrong with using it for different reasons. It’s sometimes difficult to tell what kind of user someone is, though. There’s a group of people who have developed Twitalyzer to help us figure out who is who - and what they’re doing.

The Twitalyzer is a unique tool to evaluate activity for any Twitter user, built by Web Analytics Demystified that sits on top of Twitter. There are a variety of uses for the Twitalyzer, but most people use it to track their use of Twitter over time, benchmarking themselves against other Twitter users, and helping to determine which social media strategies are working (and which are not.)

StatCounter Launched Global Stats Tool

photobucketStatCounter, one of the best and largest free stats services, released a new online research tool that monitors the market share for browsers and operating systems (mobile versions also). StatCounter Global Stats uses data provided by their counters installed on many websites to gather this browsers and OS's data and then makes it available for everyone. You can see these stats by country, continent or globally and also there is data available for a given period or even for today as StatCounter Global Stats is updated 5 times per day.

Just one thing: even though this is valuable data, it depends on which websites StatCounter is installed thus making some stats lean one way or another.
