Infuz CEO Jason Fiehler presents “The State of Twitter: St. Louis”
At last night’s Social Media Club of St. Louis event, Infuz CEO and STL Tweets creator, Jason Fiehler, delivered the top line of the first ever “State of Twitter: St. Louis” report.
This major study focused on tweets within a large urban area, the “State of Twitter: St. Louis” revealed a large collection of data and statistics surrounding Twitter usage in St. Louis – from most popular trends, people and places to usage patterns of the over 200,000 local St. Louisans on Twitter for the first half of 2010.
In addition to KScore from Klout and Trstrank from Infochimps, the extensively curated and locally sourced content collected by STL Tweets was used to develop an algorithm to measure influence within St. Louis based on user tweets, link popularity, and @ mentions, amongst other factors. Both national (Klout, Trstrank) and local (STL Tweets) influence were taken into account to determine a unique, smooth result from the combined data results.
St. Louis’ Most Influential Twitter users:
#1. @RizzoTees

#5. @tojosan
#6. @murphylee

Klout uses a unique scoring system (KScore) to identify influencers on topics across the social web.
The Infochimps Trstrank measures how important a Twitter user is, measured by centrality, rather than a count of the number of followers a user has.
