Twitter is planning to release a real time analytics dashboard, according to a number of online sources today.
The idea is to show users how people are interacting with their tweets e.g. which tweets are spreading, who are influential in their network etc.
Yes there are already numerous online tools that do this, but there are three main differences here. Firstly, it’s free, secondly it’s Twitter branded (let’s face it who would you truest more?) and thirdly it’s all in real-time. Basically that means results will be updated live in front of your eyes without the need to press a submit button, refresh the page etc. (Surprisingly I couldn’t find a definition in Wikipedia of real-time.)
This alongside the recent Google Instant is proof of a new emerging trend toward an instant and real-time online world. Users will begin to be more and more impatient expecting faster and instant user experiences online.
We’re keeping our eyes peeled, exciting times!
