And interesting part of this would be to spot people who we think could help us with the donation campaign, for example because their are friends, political allies, etc.

Hmm could not find a list of the most important followers, but:

- Most important followers change every month in the stats.

- We have very few tweets, and they get widely retweeted every time.

- We have many more mentions than tweets (people talks about us, but we don’t talk).
- Many mentions are complains :S

Also, maybe we could verify our twitter account account:

Yes, that is a good idea. I will start gathering such a list, please send me the accounts you think I would not think of.

Well… I have been diving on this Twitter thing, I think we change the most influential followers each month.

It is important to get mentions, to engage in threads in Twitter from other accounts, and to post things to twitter to have more possibility of reach.

The quality of the messages affects the amount of retweets.

We get a lot of retweets every time we release, but for example ‘test needed’ got many retweets, and only a little portion of people clicked on the actual link…

Not sure if it is the kind of attention we want to get. Is a bit like a very confusing party.

Well… just as a conclusion:

- Our follower base is too random to identify our most influencial followers.
They change all the time. This month we got followed by DEFCON and so it is
the most important follower we have.

- Links to our documentation, blueprints, technical information, etc in reply to
some tweet seem to be retweeted too.

- Tor project works a lot on our twitter! :D
They tweeted the most important mention this month:
https://twitter.com/torproject/status/778386651450118144

- We will get spread when we ask for it, and not many people will actually
click on the donation page. We need nice images to get better spread.

But:

- When we have asked followers to spread some tweet, we got lots of retweets.
But not much people clicks on our links, or does more.

- The kind of content that is most passed is the witty, funny content that will
look good on your twitterstream, with animated gifs, jokes, easy memes, etc.

- Not many people actually follows up with more action than just retweeting or
liking (i.e. not many clicks on the links)

- We get new followers straight from our website (oh, look, they have a twitter
account!) or when people from very far awar countries mentions us, explaining
what is Tails etc. Maybe we could ask for Tweets on many languages, thinking
on farsi for a start.
