Twitter Data Does Not Appear in Open Site Explorer
-
Hi,
I ran a search of more than 10 of my competitors in Open Site Explorer to have insights on their social activity. In every case I found "NA" marked against Twitter data. Does it mean there is no activity being performed by the urls against which i am running the query? Or it is something else?
Wondering since there is much activity and data of course against Facebook and Google+ (same urls yeh!)
Anybody could find time to share her/his knowledge please.
Regards
Tanveer

Yes - this was explained here:

Yes, it's true of all services that used to provide Twitter numbers -- including ShareMetric, etc. Glad to see it confirmed here, though, and we're eagerly awaiting a solution!
