Open Site Explorer Twitter Stats

[mos_rich]

Hi,

I have just noticed something within Open Site Explorer. On the page it says it draws the Twitter stats from tweetmeme. I have just noticed that tweetmeme have shut down.

Their new product datasift seems to do the same thing, but can someone confirm if SEOMoz is drawing data from them now, or is the current twitter data shown not fully up to date. Its not a major issue, its just something I noticed.

Thanks

Hi Rich,

I would hazard a guess as to say that data comes from Followerwonk, since this was a recent aquisition of SEOmoz. Just a guess though...

Actually... Just found the answer here - http://www.seomoz.org/help/ose-terms-metrics

"Tweets:   Total tweets and retweets of this URL since March 2010, including tweets of the URL with unique parameters added. Data provided by Topsy."

Best,

Thanks Matt,

I totally missed that. That for spending the time to search it out.

No worries... I was intrigued as well!
