If you’re using Twitter for business, or to generally raise your profile on the web (and around the world – it’s the same thing!) then it would probably be quite useful to find out if you really have an influence – or if no one out there is listening.
Counting followers is kinda useful. Sure, it makes you feel good when you get some new followers. But when measuring Twitter we should probably be looking for a more meaningful metrics.
Here’s 3 Free Twitter Analytics Tools that help you measure your Twitter activity and give you a bit more info about your influence..

We all love counting followers and this gives you the information over time with a pretty graph. It’s useful for looking at trends. Are certain Tweets attracting new followers? Are others losing you followers? This tool is also handy for finding people to follow.

RE:Tweetest doesn’t count your followers. It gives a far more interesting metric – Re-tweets per 1000 followers. This is a real measure of your influence. One caveat: this site is developed by a guy in Japan on his own and doesn’t always seem to work correctly. Still worth a look though.
