Early on Day 3 of #ANES20 - you may need to zoom in! Our virtual community has grown! Who do you see? Do you see yourself?

(a visual conference 🧵/)

A metrics update - fewer users than prior years, to be sure, but very respectable engagement and activity. Over 13 million impressions :) This speaks to the collective followers of the users who are #tweetingthemeeting
#ANES20

What's getting the most engagement? Here are some of the top conversations and images shared. Did you attend those sessions? What was the best part? #ANES20

People ask every year about the 'influencers' so I'll post some of that for #ANES20 below.
But first, for context, see my thread from #ATS2019, breaking down some different ways this can be viewed (impressions, tweets, mentions, and @Symplur rank)

Here's a list by simple number of tweets. Remember, you've got to use the correct hashtag! It's #ANES20 but I am seeing lots of action of #ANES2020 and #ASA2020 - these are not counted in this analysis.

Here's another view by 'mentions'. This tells us who #ANES20 is talking about (rather than who is doing the talking/tweeting, as in the prior tweet). That's a different kind of influence and doesn't depend on your own activity (ex- @MBWeinger for @APSForg special lecture)

A third view, by impressions. This accounts for both tweet frequency and # of followers. You can rank very highly for impressions with just a few tweets if you have a lot of followers. Of course, if you tweet a lot AND have lots of followers, that's even more impressions. #ANES20

Finally, by Symplur rank - a proprietary algorithm rank that takes mentions, impressions, tweets, engagement, and relevance to the topic or event. Not surprisingly, the host org of #ANES20 @ASALifeline has a perfect 100 🙂

To me, the most important visuals/metrics are the conversation identifiers and the collages.

🙌 This is our community! And we are connected even though we're apart.

I hope you enjoy seeing this as much as I do, #ANES20!
