-Hashtags are a community-driven convention for adding additional context and metadata to your tweets. They’re like tags on Flickr, only added inline to your post. You create a hashtag simply by prefixing a word with a hash symbol: #hashtag. -There was less Twitter activity during the 3 rd and final presidential candidate debate. Are you surprised? -President Obama used the hashtag #bayonet -Romney used hashtag #horsesandbayonet (Horses and bayonets mentioned by Obama about why don’t we have as many naval ships)
-Tweets with hashtags get twice the engagement of those without, yet only 24% of tweets during the time of the study used them. -Using one or even two hashtags in a tweet is fine, but if you add a third, you’ll begin to see an average 17% dropoff in engagement. -Posts with images have double the engagement of those without even though users can’t see them until they click on them. -If you ask followers to “RT,” you’ll get a 12X higher retweet rate than if you don’t. But if you spell out the word “retweet,” that figure jumps to 23X.
-“tweet spot” for the number of tweets per day appears to be four -Twitter engagement rates for brands are 17% higher on Saturday and Sunday compared to weekdays. However, most brands aren’t taking advantage of this phenomenon and, on average, only 19% of the brands’ tweets were published on the weekend. -tweets published during “busy hours” performed best. Tweets during such hours, defined as between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. in the study, got 30% higher engagement rates than those those that occurred after-hours. Twitter’s performance in this respect is the mirror image of Facebook, where posts on “non-busy hours” get 17% higher engagement.
