It’s my 2 year twitterversary today, so I made some graphs.

Note: My original Twitter username was @harrisonx. I changed to @adnrw some time in 2008.

Fig. 1: Total amount of tweets over time. The first 100 updates took a long 83 days to be posted, with the next 400 occurring within the next 19 days. The next 1,000 updates took only 41 days. I’d say that 41 days was the point where Twitter became a regular part of my online life.

Fig. 2: Average Tweets per day over time. This graph may as well be called “amount I’m addicted to Twitter”. Once again, after the first 83 days/100 updates, my average tweet rate increased 5-fold in 20 days [that's the steep incline in the graph] and then doubled again over the next 40 days. Over the last 600 days it’s slowly and steadily risen about 20%.

I’ll update this post when I have time to make more pretty graphs.

Smallprint: The graphs are created from a very small set of data [basically: the tweets I've favourited that have relevant data in them, such as my 1-yr twitterversary and 100/200/300 updates etc.] so they aren’t quite accurate. They’ve also been smoothed, so anomalies in the data are not shown – there should be times in fig.2 where the post rate drops significantly whilst I was away etc.

Update for posterity: I currently am following 762, have 759 followers, and 8914 updates.
