Twitter LISTS kind of suck, so I& #39;ve been working on a way to sort through the tweets in a twitter list and surface the good ones. Short THREAD.
I take a twitter list, download all the members of the list, and calculate each persons average tweet statistics, like the average number of retweets and & #39;likes& #39; they get. Also, the median, and the deciles (10th percentile retweets, 20th percentile retweets, etc).
Then I look at all the new tweets in a twitter list, and surface the tweets that are performing at a certain level (say the top 20th percentile).
Actually, the algorithm self adjusts to try and keep a relatively steady stream of good tweets at a target frequency, say 1 good tweet every 5 minutes, or whatever I think is appropriate. But the self-adjustment maxes out at a certain level.
I& #39;m going to start a thread with election related tweets, since today is Super Tuesday. I think I& #39;ll also do it for coronavirus.
I have a continuously updating thread of #SuperTuesday results here: https://twitter.com/tommyHotpockets/status/1235032876351205380

I am continuing the above thread to now track election related news (not specifically super tuesday). The list referenced above has been expanded.
I& #39;ve also started a new thread related to coronavirus based on the list here: https://twitter.com/i/lists/1234354716374683649">https://twitter.com/i/lists/1...
