How Many Followers Did Resorts and Hotels Lose During the Recent Twitter Purge?
Inntopia | July 20, 2018
We've all heard about bots and spam on Twitter, but when Twitter detects suspicious behavior (even if it's not a bot) they will "lock" those accounts until they can confirm everything is a-okay. Locked accounts haven't been much of a talking point thus far, but on July 11, 2018 Twitter announced: This week, we'll be removing these locked accounts from follower counts across profiles globally. As a result, the number of followers displayed on many profiles may go down. The New York Times claimed this could reduce the combined follower count on Twitter by up to 6%, so how did resorts' and hotels' follower counts fare? Take a look. The ...

Ryan Solutions | December 8, 2015
If you've ever heard a social networking site brag about their "monthly active" metric, you may have wondered about the rest of their users. Twitter, for example, has 650,000,000 users with only about 45% active each month. Does that mean 45% of your followers are inactive as well? Here's what we found. The Goods To find our answer we analyzed over 500 hotel and resort Twitter accounts with more than 1,800,000 followers between them. Activity can be tough to measure, so we simply used the "last tweet date" publicly provided by Twitter as our indicator. So, how long has it been since these Twitter followers last tweeted? For the Twitter...
