There be faeries furnishing ur xml

I enjoy the beauty of statistics, they tell you things you didn't know, or verify things you did. They provide evidence one way or contradict another - glorious.

I also love the fun which Twitter adds to the information it shares - things like Tweet Stats.

This nifty little app looks at my twitter traffic and gives me stats back showing my activity, breaking it down into months, days, hours, etc. Exciting stuff for someone who likes stats (bizarre given that I generally loath library metrics, though I find it satisfying to create synopses of PLEG stats, go figure).

Who knew that I spend most week-day mornings in Twitter? (well, actually I did know that but here's the proof!!) Or that I do most of my Tweeting on a Friday??

This is a brilliant little app. I look at it and can straight away understand why my twitter traffic was higher in March, May & June this year. That would be the RA seminar, Reference seminar and Games seminar respectively. Nice to see the correlation.

Okay, back to work. It's Tuesday so obviously a slow Twitter day for me..... ha.
