If you use Twitter professionally, you should check out Twitter Analytics. This free service provides all sorts of data about your activity on Twitter, and can give you insight on how to more effectively use this great social media tool to interact with students, colleagues, and the general public.

Based on impressions (views of the tweet), here are my top 10 tweets of 2015.

Observations from the top 10:

• Nine of the top 10 used the #SEPolk hashtag. The only tweet that didn't include that hashtag included a direct mention of two different building Twitter accounts.
• Half of the top 10 was a "Data of the Day" tweet. Looking back at the year, 88 out of 186 of my tweets fit that description, so the top 10 was pretty close to that proportionally.
