Ever wondered what kind of social media juice you might have from using Twitter? Curious as to what your stats are on the service? Then Twitalyzer might be just the thing you are looking for. I first heard about the new Twitter stats service earlier from Chris Pirillo as he posted about it for his geek community to check out.
At first I resisted the obvious ego patting that comes from seeing oneself rising in the glory that is the Twittersphere but that lasted for all of about five minutes. From the results of the analysis I maybe should have resisted a little longer – like forever. As you can see I’m not doing so well in the Twitter juice arena
I guess I have a little bit of work to do but in case you’re interested in finding out about your own Twitter juice just head over to the Twitalyzer site and have at it.

Kudos for “putting it out there” posting your stats. Don't be too hard on yourself though – some congratulations are in order for keeping that Signal-to-noise ratio high. I personally don't care as much about the Influence, Velocity and Clout buckets but do find it useful to keep an eye on my own S2N to make sure I'm providing as much value as I can to followers. And it's always nice to be generous

My results were similar to yours – high signal, no generosity, little influence or clout. It will be interesting to compare Twitalyzer over time. Even though Twitter isn't the primary platform that I use, it's becoming the primary platform that others use, and it probably behooves me to pay attention to Twitalyzer or other services that measure my effectiveness on Twitter.
Ironically, the measurement for signal gives you credit for providing links in your tweets, something that I do automatically by tweeting links to all my blog posts. However, many people would consider that noise rather than signal, so perhaps I should be LOWERING that particular statistic by conversing more, reducing the percentage of tweets with links.
