Tuesday, April 19, 2011 was a special night for TWEETEA. While every TWEETEA is special, this night was the first night TWEETEA was held in Columbus, Ohio. Hubert made the trek to Columbus and engaged with our midwestern neighbors.
The thought-provoking question posed for all TWEETEA gatherings was, “Is social media actually contributing to a social and economic divide?”
Here’s your quick breakdown:
Total Tweets: 248
Total Retweets (using RT or via): 46
Total Distinct Tweets (Tweets – Retweets): 202
Distinct Users: 44
Remember, these numbers are best guesstimates from results gleaned by scripts using Twitter’s search and streaming APIs.
Here are just a couple of the many noteworthy tweets from the virtual conversation:
