You're right abo...Thanks for the comment Mark.<br /><br />You're right about the geographic spread, larger numbers in population centres, but generally a pretty even spread across the UK & NI. I think you're right about the relevance of my personal account too.<br /><br />I think including location info (as you've suggested) for future variations of this test could be quite interesting. It's not just where our followers are based, but where the followers of those followers are based too (People probably being more likely to retweet stuff that will be geographically relevant to their audience). <br /><br />Thanks Mark :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05198348303128532135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5976034555514592994.post-24802400658770332842013-06-25T06:51:45.573+01:002013-06-25T06:51:45.573+01:00Fascinating stats, Paul. As you say, part of that ...Fascinating stats, Paul. As you say, part of that 'know your audience' is their geographic location too. I would presume that the followers of @girlguiding are of a fairly level geographic spread across the UK, so perhaps less likely to be interested (and therefore RT) a message about jobs in London. However, by virtue of many charities being based in London, your personal Twitter followers are more likely to be based in the south-east, so more likely to be interested and RT something London-based. Would that be a fair assessment?<br /><br />If, at @epilepsyaction, we tweet something with a limited geographic appeal, we always try and stick the location at the start of the tweet. For example:<br /><br />"In Belfast? Join us for..."<br />"In Leeds? We have a vacancy..."<br /><br />As people skim-read Twitter, I hope that a mention of their local town will leap out at them. And people who aren't in that part of the world can scroll straight past it. And especially not have that feeling of disappointment that a link that they were interested in actually isn't relevant to them as it's about a job in London or Penzance or the Outer Hebrides!Mark Mortonhttp://twitter.com/pontoondocknoreply@blogger.com
