STL Tweets @ Loufest!
Hey, this weekend STL Tweets will be in attendance and sponsoring the first-ever LouFest – a major outdoor music festival taking place at Forest Park.
LouFest is an event that we’ve been behind since first announced. Now we’re involved as official sponsors. The festival will feature two days’ worth of local and national artists, including She & Him, Broken Social Scene, Jeff Tweedy and many more.
To celebrate the event, STL Tweets has designed a special LouFest Tweets website that will curate and aggregate any and all #Loufest tweets that go live leading up to and throughout the weekend. For photos, videos and tweets from the event, head over toLouFestTweets.com to stay live and up-to-date with everything that’s happening at LouFest.
Also, as a featured sponsor, STL Tweets will be at the festival giving away free t-shirts plus two official LouFest posters, designed by Sleepy Kitty, one each day. If you’re attending LouFest this weekend, be sure to stop by the STL Tweets booth to learn more and say hello!
Client Spotlight: Charter Business
Always good to see clients in the news. Today we’re putting the spotlight on Charter Business. Yesterday, Charter announced they will be introducing faster Internet speeds for business customers in their service areas; covering over nine states. This is a big win for Charter Business as they continue making their mark with business owners always looking for faster speeds for connecting their business and customers.
We started work with Charter last fall after being assigned a re-design of their current site. Since then, we’ve moved on to other projects together, including writing and producing their newest product videos. Check out the Internet product video:

Currently, we’re wrapping up the site re-design – we’ll update the blog with a link and story on that when it goes live. Charter Business has been a client willing to listen and remain open to input and suggestion – we’ve been able to learn as much about their business and way of doing things as they have our culture and ideas we bring to the table. Because of that, the work has been awesome and we’re more than ready for what’s next to develop together.
Did you pull that number out of a hat?
After the #SMCSTL meeting last night, I’ve been asked several times where our most-influential ranking came from. Unlike Bullwinkle, we did NOT pull that number out of a hat.
The algorithm, obviously can’t be fully revealed for many reasons:
- People would try to game it
- It’s in flux as we add/remove/tune parameters
- I talk like a propeller-head and might bore you all to death
- We might want to monetize it ;)
The essence is this:
We gather all the “organic” tweets via various sources (searches by location, keywords, hashtags, etc.)
