#ElvisAndMJdotcom: new file of comments and ideas

[~Souza~]

#ElvisAndMJdotcom is not trending yet. We don't have enough tweeters. Setting a new date and time won't do anything, if we will be with only a few hundred again, most certainly not now with the soccer tweets.

But stop tweeting makes people forget. While we try to find a solution to get attention to it, we should keep tweeting. If non-believers are picking up on the hashtag #ElvisAndMJdotcom and go to http://wthashtag.com/Elvisandmjdotcom they will see the hashtag has been tweeted 29,000 times in less then 3 days, making it more interesting to check out.

I do think it's a good idea to make some new tweets including other trendings, like people mentioned in the other thread.

The trending tweets at this moment are:

I suggest we use this thread to post examples of tweets that include one or more of these trending ones, plus our hashtag #ElvisAndMJdotcom
Make them funny or interesting enough to trigger people to retweet.

Another idea is to all follow http://twitter.com/PerezHilton and tweet him about #ElvisAndMJdotcom. Maybe if he gets bombarded with tweets, he might use it in one of his tweets to ask why people are sending it to him. He has millions of followers, I think it's worth a shot.

I still believe that doing nothing is helping even less, and tweeting the hashtag doesn't hurt anyone. So not trending yet, but that doesn't mean we should stop and start all over in a few days.

Other ideas are more than welcome.

How many tweets does it take to be a trending topic on Twitter?

Trending topic on Twitter
While not completely convinced of the value of a trending topic on twitter, besides an ego boost, its nevertheless a very question that we get asked by a lot of customers. It is usually asked in one of two ways:

"How many tweets does it take in a given time period to be a trending topic on twitter?" or

"How many people have to talk about this on twitter to make this topic appear as a top one on Twitter Search?"

First some quick facts and numbers so we can baseline over the last 7 days:

1. The average number of tweets per day is 1.9 Million

2. The average number of unique twitter users per day is about 631,737

3. The average number of unique twitter users online per hour is 48,233

4. The average number of unique tweets per hour is 83,394 and unique tweets / minute is ~ 1350

5. Number of unique trending topics per day is ~8900 (these are for one specific day, but average over the last 7 days is in this range). Trending topic has a "shelf life" of 11 minutes, most though are less than 5 minutes. N.B. There are 10 top trending topics shown on Search.Twitter.com at any time.

Unique Twitter users and tweets by hour
The million $ question of how many tweets it takes to trend depends on 2 things - # of people tweeting at the same time on topic and the hour of the day.

What other factors matter?

1. How many followers in total exist for the people online at that time? This will make it easier for that topic to be distributed quicker and hence trend faster on twitter

2. Nature of the topic – Breaking news, politics and technology related topics do very well on Twitter. We ignored inane (in our words) topics like Good night, tired etc.

3. Location of twitter users – this is a nature of time, but most twitter users are in coastal United States, Japan. If you wish to trend a topic on Twitter, during the timezone they are most active, you are better off talking about topics that interest them.

Assuming Pacific Standard Time, our research indicates:

Between 12 (midnight) to 6 am PDT: approximately 1200 tweets and about 500 users to be trending

Between 6 am to 12 Noon PDT: 1700 tweets and about 733 users

Between 12 noon to 6 pm: 1500 tweets and about 812 users (this may be because there are more people during this time but they tweet a lot less)

Between 6 pm to 12 midnight: 1900 tweets and about 922 users

Some points to note: These numbers will vary by nature of topic, date and appeal of topic worldwide. This gives you a rough estimate or a ballpark, but is not in anyway comprehensive.

I'm not feeling well for the last 2 days. I'm so sick but I'll try to do my best. Actually that Top Tweet would work easily but people didn't use the Favourite Star. I think that's the reason why we couldn't make it a Top Tweet. I'm with you guys.
