Anyone using Followerwonk? Email said SEOMOZ just aquired it.

Hi,

So looks like SEMOZ just aquired followerwonk.com and that I have free access to this system.

I had a quick look at it and it seems like it's an analytics program for twitter.

Anyone used it? And can you use it to help grow your list?

Cheers

Nice distillation here Justin, thanks.

Yes I use it quite a lot, its a fantastic tool.

There are many ways you can use it to grow followers, but a couple of the more straightforward ones are

Analyse your followers against your competitors, you can see which followers you have in common and more importantly people who follow them and not you

You can search users bios based on interests, so for example if you were a clothes retailer you could search for location & fashion to find potential local followers

There is a whole host of other features that allow you to find how influential your followers are, how many followers they have etc.

So all round its a real useful tool and it is extremely powerful

Rand does dig a big deeper into the features in his acquisition announcement, so that is worth a read if you haven't done so already
