Twitter Inforgraphic

This infographic is a comparison between my account and one of my favorite comedian's, Rob Delaney's, account. I thought that this would be an interesting thing to compare because I leisurely use twitter and Rob Delaney uses it to further his career. Being that he uses it to make impressions on people and promote himself his usage is much higher but it is interesting to see just how much more he uses twitter.

To start of Rob has a TON more followers than I do. He is usually regarded as one of the funniest people to follow on twitter but then again.. I consider myself one of the funniest people on twitter as well. It could be related to the next piece of the infographic which is the amount of people we follow. Rob follows a little more than ten times the amount of people I do. This may be why I do not have as many followers as him. Based on these previous two facts it can be seen that I have a significantly lower following to follower ratio. This means that my popularity is much smaller than Rob's. The next part that can seen is the significantly the lower amount of times I am mentioned per week than Rob. He is consistently mentioned over 30,000 times a week to my mere 10 or so. This is odd because all of my friends tell me that they really like me but apparently Rob's friends like him more. Nothing personal though. I do average one mention per tweet which I am proud of because I am not a fraction.

The next part is very interesting because it shows the timing and location of my tweets and followers. As you can see in the infographic I do not tweet a lot and their are times during the day that I don't usually tweet. Conversely there are not many times of the day when Rob does not tweet. Only a few hours out of every day are there times when Rob is not tweeting. The next piece is interesting to see where all of your followers are. Rob is mostly in North America but mine is different. My followers are allegedly from Africa mostly but I do not think that piece is correct.

In the end it is interesting to see the breakdown that someone likes myself who is a nobody and does not use twitter to much and someone who is a celebrity of sorts and uses twitter all the time. The usage among the two of us could not be more different and the infographic does a good job of taking this info and making it easily understood visually.
