A Report released today by Tweetminster shows that while Labour politicians dominate conversations on Twitter compared to the two other main parties, the Conservative Party’s reach is comparable to that of mainstream media channels.

www.Tweetminster.co.uk today released a report on UK Politics and Twitter, analysing how politicians, parties and the political media are using the service.

The report analysed over 830,000 tweets during the course of 2009. It showed that collectively the Labour party has more followers (113,201) than both the Conservatives (36,874) and the Liberal Democrats (32,202) combined.

With 17% of parliament on Twitter, there are now more MPs tweeting than there are ones blogging. 59% of MPs on Twitter are Labour (23% Liberal Democrats and 13% Conservative), with the party’s  Media Campaigns Spokesperson, Kerry McCarthy (@kerrymp), resulting as the most active, mentioned and retweeted MP on Twitter, followed by fellow Labour MPs Tom Harris (@tomharrismp) and Tom Watson (@tom_watson). For the Conservatives, Grant Shapps (@grantshapps) and Eric Pickles (@ericpickles) are amongst the 20 most retweeted MPs, Liberal Democrats’ Jo Swinson (@joswinson) and party leader Nick Clegg (@nick_clegg) also make the same list.

Amongst the 223 PPCs on Twitter the differences between parties are far narrower.  The majority, 38%, are Conservative, yet Labour PPCs collectively have more followers – 22,140. The top-three positions for most active and influential PPCs are also shared between the two parties: Labour’s Paul Smith (@bristolwestpaul) and Luke Pollard (@lukepollard), and Conservatives’ Louise Bagshawe (@louisebagshawe) and Rene’ Kinzett (@ReneKinzett).

The report also analysed media, journalists and influencers. While established media, like The Economist, The Guardian, Sky News and the Financial Times top the list for most followers, journalists (Channel 4’s @krishgm), bloggers (@timmontgomerie and @iandale) and activists (@bevaniteellie) receive more mentions and retweets.

Tweetminster included in the report their 5 top-findings based on the data collected:

1 – In terms of politicians, the Labour Party dominates all key metrics – collectively Labour MPs and PPCs are more active, more frequently mentioned (i.e. have greater reach) and have more followers than the two other main parties combined.

2 – Senior party members can play a critical role in connecting with members of the public: Nick Clegg and Eric Pickles standout in all tables well above their party’s average metrics.

3 – The findings for official party accounts show a different picture – the Conservatives not only have significantly greater reach than the other main parties, their posts tend to have greater distribution (i.e. mentions and retweets) than established media and key bloggers.

4 – The data shows that the Conservatives are more effective at distributing their message from the top, yet less so at a grassroots level in terms of spreading these positions within conversations (this should be the work of supporters, MPs, PPCs). While Labour has the opposite challenge – members drive conversations, yet the official line doesn’t strategically trickle down. The Liberal Democrats are somewhere in between – while the data is in-line with expectations, and reach-wise the party punches above its weight when looking at the number of followers, their challenge is breaking into conversations that go beyond party supporters, especially in terms of how these then influence the mainstream media agenda.

5 – While as expected established mainstream news sources have a higher number of followers than bloggers and commentators, individual journalists and bloggers receive more mentions and retweets. This is probably due to a combination of factors – including that the latter are more engaging, post different angles and commentary around a story, and established sources tend to broadcast links (that followers may click on but not interact with the source) or stories that followers have caught up with elsewhere. Comparatively the blogospheres of the two main parties show relatively similar figures in terms of followers and reach.

Alberto Nardelli, Co-founder of Tweetminster said:

“Based on our data we feel that the next election (on Twitter at least) will be between the Conservative party machine and Labour’s grassroots activists’.”

He continued;

“Individual journalists will be interesting to follow, beyond the media organisations they represent, will play a critical role in influencing how a message is framed.”

London, June 28, 2009 – “ Million Pixel TwitterPage was developed as a initiative that will benefit people in the social media along with helping me out in my studies. I was pretty sure that this new twitter program will be buzz in the online world because, this concept is very unique. You will be well aware of the fact that there are millions of twitter tools available online however, most of them have the common purpose of adding friends, and joining other twitter pages etc. I was just wondering which the savvy programmers cannot think outside the box and introduce some new concept that will give a great lift to all the twitter users out there. Well I didn’t just think, I worked it out and presented it in the form of the new program called Million Pixel TwitterPage. I am not creating a hype that this program will be a great hit in the social media, thereby becoming a multibillion dollar business, but atleast people in the social media can get benefitted a lot along with helping me to continue my studies” says the developer of Million Pixel TwitterPage.

Speaking on more details about million pixels, the developer said, “I hope that you will all remember Alex Tew who is the developer of the million dollar homepage. He was successful in making millions through that site for his studies. I have combined that idea with the benefits of twitter because Alex’s idea seemed to be a bit outdated. I have kept the prices of the twitter pixels as low as $0.1 so that millions of people out there can get benefitted through my program and in the mean time I can continue my studies with my earnings. The social networking guys can buy 100 to 4900 pixels and mark their presence online. The bigger their pixels, the higher they will be noticed online.”

Speaking on the move, David said, “you don’t have to fear that this program will go burst. I like to reveal that this domain is booked for 5 years and so I can guarantee you that this initiative will be there for atleast 5 years from now. It is happy to see that Million Pixel TwitterPage is recognized as one of the best twitter programs. Make the most of it now.”

About MillionPixelTwitterpage.com

The concept is very simple, you can buy from 100 to 4900 pixels which will be used for your twitter image and will be linked to your twitter profile only. The domain name is registered for 5 years, so it is a guarantee that this project will last for at least until 2014. We will create the history, and it’s not about websites it’s about people.

Liverpool, June 18, 2009 — “Social media is overcrowded as everyone out there knows. When it comes to the micro blogging site twitter, it is crowded with loads of people. It means that if you are not popular enough you will not be found in the crowd and your twitter profile will not have many followers. Well this was the situation some days back. If you are not a celebrity or a renowned organization, your profile will hardly cross the double digit number of followers. When it seemed to be that twitter micro blogging is only meant for celebrities and popular people, we have found a perfect solution that can get more twitter followers to any profile, even if you are infamous. People have a misconception that it is illegal or spammy to get more twitter followers through some other means. While it is true that it is spammy to get more twitter followers using certain software, our method to get more twitter followers is entirely different and is 100% ethical”, says Charlotte Green of GetMoreTwitterFollowers.com

Speaking about the process they are adopting to get more twitter followers, Charlotte said, “The process to get more twitter followers is very simple as 1-2-3. All you have to do is to provide the username and hit the send tweet button. Once you follow the instructions, the second step includes revisit our website and note down the unique url that we provide. Final step is to promote the unique url that we provide which is just a breeze. Promoting the unique url will follow the snowball effect. You have to refer people with the url and so they will become your followers. The more you refer you will get more twitter followers. As a result you will become popular too.”

Speaking on the move, Green said, “Seeing the process that we use to get more twitter followers, you will be able to understand the fact that this is 100% ethical. That is why we have countless numbers of people enjoying our service. We are very popular indeed to know that we make many people popular in the social media crowd.”

About GetMoreTwitterFollowers.com

If you need to get more twitter followers, this is the place to look for. The concept is not new. This is the power of leverage. Leverage is a method used by everyone who is successful; basically it uses the power of numbers to get more twitter followers. For more info, visit www.getmoretwitterfollowers.info

Whitney, TX ( Prfriend ) June 11, 2009 – “Twitter has become a very effective marketing tool. You’d have seen many articles that explain the benefits of using twitter as a marketing tool. While some of the savvy marketers have already started to squeeze out the marketing benefits of twitter, some of them are still unaware of the basic marketing idea behind this platform. There are some online marketers who are really desperate in getting into twitter but are not aware of the marketing techniques to be used in this one of a kind web 2.0 platform. Many of them think that they should get their business into twitter like everyone else and so they just sign up with the site and just keep on posting the updates. They should remember the fact that twitter is not just for showing the updates and there are much more marketing options that remain hidden”, says the professionals of dtalpha.com

Mr. Stephen Pierce, the author of the newly launched twitter resource guide says, “This twitter resource guide is a result of many days of hard work and research. However, we are generous enough to provide this resource guide for free. You’d have noticed several twitter applications that are widely spread in the Internet. Many people would have tried atleast a few twitter applications and noticed that not all the applications available out there are good for promoting their business in twitter. Some of the twitter applications available today claim to be timesavers but they are actually time killers. It is a difficult task to identify the best twitter tools available online. Twitter users can now have a great sigh of relief because, my twitter resource guide 100+ pages of information about the most wanted twitter applications.”

“Based on my research, I was able to find about 201 essential twitter applications. I have grouped them and presented them with the details in the twitter resource guide” says Mr. Stephen Pierce

Speaking on the move, the author said, “First experience with twitter will be a bit confusing. This free twitter resource guide will help you fly with the bird from form the very beginning itself.”

About “The Definitive Twitter Resource Guide!”

“The Definitive Twitter Resource Guide” is a free, downloadable 104 page ebook with the much needed information about the twitter applications and tools. The author, Stephen Pierce has done a great job in compiling this guide with 201 much needed twitter tools and applications.

Lake District Hotels Limited, the hotel group based in Cumbria – The Lake District, are pleased to announce the launch of their new Facebook and Twitter pages.

Facebook and Twitter have grown considerably in the last year with over 200 million Facebook users and Twitter with over a million users but growing faster and faster by the minute.

Social networking is a great way to stay in touch with friends, business acquaintances and life in general and is definitely not just for young people anymore. It is also becoming a fast and free way to communicate as an alternative SMS and conventional email.
Lake District Hotels have been posting offers, asking questions, uploading photos and providing all the current news going on in the group. Week on week they are hoping to increase their network of followers giving more and more information along the way and encourage participation between followers and staff within the group.

Lake District Hotels have gained many followers and fans already through direct links to each on the homepage of their website lakedistricthotels.net. The progression into social media is happening for many businesses but the tourism sector is very suited to such resources especially hotels in the Lake District having such fantastic settings and scenery all around.

With so many people all over the world using these platforms, news circulates to a wider audience than standard marketing and also much faster and targeted. Businesses such as those in the tourism sector can let their fans and followers know of offers and events quickly and easily and far more targeted than email newsletters or direct mail. Businesses can upload photos and videos for followers and friends to look at. Comments can be picked up and collected from a social network platform. These comments can help improve the service given by a hotel and keep the managers informed with essential information. Questions can be asked and opinions given back from followers, again, extremely valuable.

Join the Lake District Hotels group on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/pages/Keswick-United-Kingdom/Lake-District-Hotels/53073894165?ref=ts or follow them on Twitter by going to http://twitter.com/ldh123
