I’ve looked at the 20 words and phrases that tend to get the most ReTweets, but what about the flip-side of that coin? What about the words that are least likely to get your ReTweets? I used my database of over 30 million ReTweets, and compared it to a sample of over 2 million random Tweets and found the common words that occurred far more often in non-ReTweets. The percentages below represent the relative Un-ReTweetability of the 20 least ReTweetable words. Some Highlights from the List There are a number of “-ing” verbs, including “going,” “watching” and “listening,” which reinforces my understanding that answers to the “What are you doing?”
The presence of “sleep,” “bed,” “night,” and “tired” indicate that people often Tweet “goodnight” style messages, but generally don’t ReTweet them. The relatively informal nature of many of the words on the list including “lol,” “gonna,” and “hey,” show that simple or slang conversation is not ReTweetable. Dan Zarrella, Social Media Marketing and Viral Marketing Scienti. 30 Best Blogs of 2009 - Flock. While compiling this list, I asked a few people a dumb question: What was the biggest online event of the year? Random answers included Oprah joining Twitter, Michael Jackson's death breaking on TMZ, and Susan Boyle coming and going.
Someone even tried to argue that a writer who detailed his firing from The New Yorker on Twitter was momentous. Sigh. But frankly, I've got nothing better. So try this out: Matt Haughey selling PVR Blog on eBay for $12k was the most emblematic online event of 2009. Why? With Kim Kardashian making $10k per tweet, even internet fame seemed synchronously bankrupt and filthy rich. So it's time to stop being wishy-washy about our value assessments. So here they are, the 30 Best Blogs of 2009: [Previous years: 2002 | 2003 | 2004 | 2006 | 2007 | 2008.] 30) Dustin Curtis Woe, the personal blog. 27) Animal As Virginia Heffernan recently asked in a recent NYT essay, what exactly should a magazine look like in the digital age? 20) Asian Poses The Nyan Nyan.
