What has this post got to do with the title The Green Green Grass of Home ? Absolutely nothing, I’m just testing some keyword searching on the search engines to see how this title is picked up by Google and Yahoo.

Really this post is about Twitter.com and a really cool tool you can use to see how effective your efforts are at social media. Remember my post on Twitter.com? The Day The Earth Stood Still – Almost !!  just click on the link to refresh yourself on what Twitter is and how you can use it in your marketing. I’ve just been playing with a new application called Twitter Grader and checked my own ranking on Twitter. It seems I’ve made the Twitter Elite status, so I’m happy about that, I’ve got a ranking of 69 out of 100 and when compared to other Twitter users on the Gold Coast I rank number 6, so not bad, but I’d really like to be number 1, so I’ll have to work on that. The score is based on your reach, the number of followers you have,the pace of your updates and strength of your network. Not content to leave it at that, I thought I’d compare some really well known users of Twitter.

Kevin Rudd has a Twitter profile and his Twitter Grade is 95.5 out of a 100,not bad, but how does he compare with the leader of the opposition Malcolm Turnbull? Malcolm has a Twitter Grade of 94 out of a 100. Kevin and Malcolm are about even on the number of followers each have, but with regard to the number they follow in return,Malcolm leaves Kevin well behind. 192 for Malcolm to 11 for Kevin.

Lets compare that to both Barack Obama and Arnie Schwarzenegger, Arni has a rating of 99.8 whilst Obama ranks 99.91, so on Twitter at least Barack Obama rules the Governator.
