Just how popular are some #Twitter Groups

Good Morning from 14 degrees C wetherby UK
As i sat on my grassy knoll puffing on a pipe overlooking the English country Land I wondered... just how do you measure the volume of users using hash tag twitter groups.... or put another way imagine you say to a client "Ok one idea is to get this friday meal deal promoted on #FF"
The client then says...
"So how many twitter users use the #FF"
It a blunt but legit question & one I couldnt answer right now. So my question is please...
"Is there a tool to measure frequency of use with regards to twitter hash tag groups"
Thanks in advance

Good morning back at you from 22 degrees C Hayling Island, UK :¬)
I don't know of a specific too, but if the group isn't massive you could do this fairly easy through the twitter API. You could use the search API, which is really simple and do a search something like this:
http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=%23seomoz&result_type=recent&rpp=100
That will return the last 100 tweets that contained #seomoz . You can then cycle through results adding the page=X variable for up to 1,500 pages. So as long as there are less than 150,000 results that should do the job. If there are likely to be more you would do the search more often and add a date qualifier.
If there isn't a tool to do it I'd possibly be up for writing it - sounds useful. However it is simple enough that I suspect someone has done it

Is twitter a waste of time to gain traffic
Hi i am wondering what people's thoughts are with reference to twitter. I use twitter and enjoy twitter but i have never had any traffic from twitter. I use facebook which i am not a fan of and i get a lot of traffic from it. Just wondering if there is a knack to getting traffic from twitter or are other people finding out the same as me that twitter does nothing to generate traffic or increase your profile

An interesting way to deal with comment spam? (just 4 fun)
About two weeks back I set up a new website called www.gamsatsamplequestions.co.uk. It's a blog where, once a day, I post a set of verbal comprehension-style questions to help students prepare for the GAMSAT (the graduate entry to medicine exam used by universities in UK, Ireland and Australia.) Along with rising traffic, I've recently started to receive spam comments. Before going ahead and activating Akismet or some other spam-blocking app I thought I might have a bit of fun with them.. I took my favourite spam comment (one allegedly about SEO) and wrote up some questions to turn it into a sample GAMSAT reading comprehension It's not the most efficient way of moderating spam comments, and my not-so-subtle bitter rantings are unlikely to deter any future spammers, but I nonetheless had a little bit of fun doing it.. So, my question is, has anybody else experimented with interesting or unique ways of dealing with comment spam? E.g. created a directory of all the people who spam commented you / donated their email addresses to hordes of email marketers / replied with a kindly worded email expressing concern for their well being.. Has anyone stumbled upon anything more fun/efficient than the akismet-style plugins?

Twitter Following Figures
Hi Mozzers, Does anyone know what an acceptable figure is for daily following on Twitter? I've read lots of conflicting views and Twitters guidelines are vague. I'm starting to follow users so I can get them to follow me back so I can build an audience to engage with. I want to do this more aggressively but whats the threshold to avoid getting banned? Thanks Bush

Who do you follow on Twitter?
I am just getting to grips with Twitter, suppose its better later than never, and was wondering who everyone follows for SEO and Web Design. Personal i find it hard to keep up with more than five or six people with out getting information overload, and have no time for those that tweet twenty or thirty times a day about what they had for lunch or who they are meeting for drinks. If you had to pick the top five people to follow for SEO and the top five for Web Design who would you chose? I work on the SEO side of our business and i think my top five would be, in no particular order: Randfish
