Notes

Tweet Analytics is a real-time feature and does not depend on your account being synchronised.

Audiense distinguishes between a reply and a mention. A reply is a response to a Tweet that begins with the @username of the person you’re replying to. A mention is a Tweet that contains a @username anywhere in the body of the Tweet. However, on Twitter, replies are also considered mentions.

  • Discrepancy between info in Tweet Analytics and info on the dashboard

The dashboard reflects any ‘events’ which have occurred in the time period selected. For example, in this time period you may have received a like of a Tweet which you posted two years ago. Tweet Analytics, on the other hand, is based only on the Tweets of the selected period and the ‘events’ that these specific Tweets generate. For this reason you may notice fewer likes, Retweets, replies, etc in Tweet Analytics than you see on the dashboard.

  • Discrepancy between info in Twitter Analytics and info in Audiense Tweet Analytics

There may be some differences between the info you see on Twitter and the info presented in Tweet Analytics. This is because we don’t use exactly the same criteria as Twitter to calculate our data. For example, Audiense groups replies and mentions separately, so you may see that we show two Tweets, one reply and one mention while Twitter shows four Tweets. It’s normal that there are slight discrepancies between the two platforms
