What is this place? What is a Volume Tweeter?



Basketball Twitterlytics was inspired mostly by Jacob Rosen, who began collecting data over 48 hours ago. There are over 300 Twitter users already listed on the spreadsheet. The list includes, but is not limited to People, Blogs, Teams, DotComs (.com's), News Organizations,  etc., all of which are considered members of the Basketball Twitter community.

This website will be a place to document any findings, observations or general thoughts as they pertain to the data that is collected. If you are interested in contributing to this project in some fashion, please don't hesitate to email either Jacob or myself. From there you'll be granted basic access to the Google Spreadsheet.

We are in the very primitive phases of this project. Thus far, it's been fun and has spurred interest from various members of the community. And, like any niche blog, there's no telling what will happen moving forward.

Specifications dictating whether or not a Member of the Basketball Twitter community is considered a Volume Tweeter have yet to be determined.

A Volume Tweeter....

  • Tweets all the time, but how many times per day? 
  • Can a Volume Tweeter be human? 
  • Can a Volume Tweeter be a blog?
  • Can a Volume Tweeter be an NBA sponsored account? 


There is no hurry to define the term Volume Tweeter at this time. The following screengrab is simply of those who tweet on average of more than 100 times per day.

[Update - 12:17 PM] How do we determine Tweets Per Day?




This post was meant to explain the origins of Basketball Twitterlyrics. This blog entry was also used to curate a proverbial foundation that will help to define the term Volume Tweeter.
