Working with PeopleBrowsr, Ad.ly introduced analytics into their platform for both advertisers and Twitterers. I ran some stats on my account and have shared the results below.

What I find most interesting is their offer of a premium version. For $9.99 per month (or $99.99 a year), you can keep up-to-date with Twitter metrics like Sentiment Analysis, Individual Follower Engagement, Detailed Location Reports and a larger list of Your Most Influential Followers.

Other reputation management services offer this type of analytics capability for much more, so if the data and reports are compelling, that price is a steal.

Once you have done so, you will be capable of having a private chat with your Twitter acquaintances, and also hold a conference call if that is what you want. And if you are in a position where you must make announcements to a team or a group of fans this will do as well.

These are the three types of twalks you can have: private, public and broadcast ones. The best thing might as well be that each and every twalk will be saved for future reference. That means that if any follower missed the broadcast he will be capable of catching it up later on.

Of course, phone rates apply if you use Twalkin, but there are no fees to be paid to the Twalkin team itself – the app is free, and their service on the whole is provided at no cost.
