Top 30 Irish Hotels on Twitter

March 12th, 2010

The data in this list differs slightly to that of our Facebook list and is ranked according to the hotel’s influence on the twitterverse.

We’ve used twitter.grader.com to rank each hotel on twitter. This clever little app considers many different factors including number of followers, number of followings and number of posts (among many others). This creates a score, enabling each twitter account to be ranked out of all the accounts that have been graded in the twitter network.

It basically gives you an idea of the impact each tweet has.

The grade is out of 100 and represents the percentage of accounts that have less of an impact than yours. For example, a TwitterGrade of 95 means tweets from your account have more of an impact than tweets from 95% of all other graded accounts on twitter. Pretty impressive hey?!

As with our Facebook list, we’ve done our best to recognise every contender for the list but a few are bound to have slipped through the net. If you think your hotel should be included on the list, please let us know by commenting below, remembering to include your “@” twitter account name.

Congratulations to Travelodge Ireland who maintain their top spot for a second week.

Useful exercise. I do notice that most of those in the top of the lists tend to be following even more people than they have followers – sometimes I do wonder about the value of these ‘reciprocal’ based follows and how engaged with the brands the followers really are.

Hi Alex,

Thanks for your post. You’re touching on a subject that has largely been ignored to date. I think we will see a more balanced and targeted approach to both tweets and followers as grading sites such as TwitterGrader.com which highlight the importance of quality, relevance and engagement rather than quantity.

regards,

William.
