Editor's Notes

  • #3 Notes here -
  • #4 Notes here -
  • #5 Notes here -
  • #9 Notes here -
  • #10 To get to our first 1B Tweets took 3 years, 2 months, and 1 day. Now we see 1B Tweets every 4.5 days.
  • #12 Guess where all of those Tweets are coming from? Out of our 100MM active users 40% log in just to listen. The other 60% are tweeting, retweeting, @replying, etc. We think the 40% is a healthy number and goes to show the value of the platform as a place to find out about your interests - instantly.
  • #13 Twitter users are politically-engaged influencers.
  • #14 Among the Tweet producer group, there are several categories of what we call VIT ’ s that contribute content, and Twitter usage is well represented across all these groups. Many VIPs get onto Twitter because they can connect directly a fan or audience, etc. Brands have the exact same opportunity for connection. Brands being human and personal.
  • #16 With iOS5, Twitter is now integrated at the Operating System level. You can turn on Twitter just like you turn on wireless! Sign in to your Twitter account once and then tweet with a single tap from Twitter-enabled apps, including Apple ’ s apps—Camera, Photos, Safari, Contacts, YouTube, and Maps. And developers of all of your favorite apps can easily take advantage of the single sign-on capability, letting you tweet directly from their apps too.
  • #21 Our Promoted Tweets product is seeing on average 3-5% engagement in search and even higher when tied to a Promoted Trend. Engagement matters because it leads to outcomes, which we ’ ll cover in the case studies section
  • #30 Use Twitter paid and organic products to connect the dots across your media mix and drive higher ROI across all of your media investments.
