Real David H.

I’ve already stated that I’m not doing a year in review — my highlights can be found in the 1,000-mile journey post. In fact I’m done talking about running in 2010 (I’m at 1,008 miles; I might shoot for 1,010 tonight), except for this one final thing.
Thanks to TweetStats, I have access to some useless information about how I’ve spend my year on Twitter. For those who don’t “get” Twitter, that’s fine. I’m not going to try and convince you to even get on it. However, I love it. I’ve connected with so many runners, had some great conversations, gotten free advice, launched #runchat and even had several healthy arguments debates. While my Twitter profile shows that I’ve been tweeting since March 2010, that is in fact not true. It’s taken a couple of accounts to get to where I am now, but I’ve been on Twitter since September 2008, which includes about 4 months worth of tweeting at my former job.

ANYWAY, what does TweetStats say about my year?

• I average 17 tweets a day. That’s a bit skewed as I somehow found time in October to tweet 735 times, far and away the highest month of the year.
• 781 of my nearly 5,000 tweets have been about #runchat.
• The next closest word is “run” at 418 tweets.
• At one point, I tweeted a lot about the “Biggest Loser” — #BL9 had 241 tweets; #BL10 had just 85.
• Despite #runchat having a regular 2nd/4th Sunday schedule, it’s actually the second fewest tweeted day of the week: 566 tweets. Saturday is the lowest tweeted day at 470 tweets.
• Tuesday is the highest day with 1,081 tweets. Combine “Biggest Loser” night with a night that my wife usually isn’t home and you get a bunch of tweets.
• I talk to @bklynrunner a lot. 264 @ replies to her. Michelle was my first guest blogger on here last year and one of the nicest people I’ve never officially met.
• I retweet #runchat co-moderator @iRunnerblog the most: 61 times.
• Awesome: 160 times tweeted.
• #beer: Just 1 tweet.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!
