Little sentiment and a little influence

But even then, the reach is not decisive for the impact of a message. The number of times a message is retweeted is therefore not decisive for the impact of the message in question. This also applies to the number of followers of a tweeter. Of course, the number of followers influences the impact of the tweets of a certain user, but what that influence is exactly, cannot be said. You can have 10,000 followers and then tweet a message that is read by 500 people. Then we leave aside the fact that there may also be ' fake followers ' among them (which you can even buy).
Armin van BuurenBut someone can also have two followers, one of whom is @ArminvanBuuren . A retweet from him immediately means a larger reach, but what influence this has is another question. It is estimated that the vast majority of tweets are not read by everyone who follows a tweeter, simply because people are not always logged in, do not read everything or because the flow of information is too great. There are already programs that allow you to see who was online at the time of an incident, but here too it is not possible to say with certainty that they have read the messages.
There are various tools available to analyse the reporting on and the use of social media.latvia phone number list Some well-known ones are Coosto , Obi4Wan and Twitcident . These tools analyse (Dutch) sources and (Dutch) messages on social media in their own way. Using these tools, you can search specifically for relevant words and smart combinations of words that are related to a certain event or that were placed in a certain period. Then, through further analysis of the results, you can search more and more specifically until the most relevant results remain.
In the research we did for Police & Science, this manual work was very important, because the almost automatic analysis of Coosto did not yield the required quality. The interpretation and interpretation of the research data remains human work. As an example, the influence score of a user on Twitter. Coosto determines this based on someone's activity on Twitter and in particular the degree of interaction (dialogue) between the author and other authors. This score starts at zero (no influence) and can run into the thousands (which is highly unusual).
