How Well Do We Know Your Blog’s Top Commentators?

Sure, you proudly list your blog's top commentators. They are often the first to comment on new posts, have nice gravatar images and thriving blogs. All excellent qualifications.  But how much do you know about them? Wouldn't it be nice to analyze them for the magic ingredient in their social interactions?

We put our top five commentators through a quirky Twitter Analysis tool called Twanalyst. The software reviews your tweet content, phrasing and following. Tweeters are then judged on personality, style and overall type: from "TALKER - a general keen conversationalist" to "ODDBALL - someone who overuses hashtags ". (Hashtags are words with the # sign for easier searches.)

There are caveats like how long you've been tweeting and the number of updates. Still, results can be surprising. Similar to  a horoscope the readings veas elements of  "truth"  and good tips on tweaking your tweeting [say that fast, 3 times.] Take a look at the analysis, shown in random order. Guess who is who.

What the Twitter types mean:
"GURU type is  someone with many followers but doesn't follow back so much." The masses continue to gather for the 'message." Sort of like having tons of comments and not being able to respond to them all - not that I'm envious!

"Celebrity type is someone with a large following." They probably have their 'people' respond or stock tiny url's ready?

"Robot type is  someone whose tweets are mostly links."  Well they certainly don't do that here in the comments section. So there's a disconnect in the two personalities.  Maybe some of our comments are being hijacked? Or is it our policy of Ham not spam in blog comments? Just kidding!

Note: I'm obliged to remind any potential sponsors that this is a serious post  --- it demonstrates how easily you can use the TinyMCE Advanced plugin to add & manage tables. Notice the three merged cells across the row to hold the tips for better tweeting. While being entertaining, this article generated tons of reader interaction (comments!) and has ample links/SEO to other posts --- lowering visitor bounce rate. So, do read another post or download our twitter e-book!
