TRENDY DESKTOP - HOW KENYANS TWEET: THE TOP TWITTER CLIENTS

HOW KENYANS TWEET: THE TOP TWITTER CLIENTS I looked at 6,500 tweets and found more than 55 different ways in which kenyans interact with the Twitter. Some of the results, which follow below, were rather surprising. I used the Twittter API to monitor public feeds from Kenyan locality over a 24hr period. The tweets were cumulatively collected for 24hr period using Trendy Desktop. THE RESULTS WERE AS FOLLOWS 1. twitter - 59% ... 33% are from m.twitter.com 2. snaptu - 15% 3. dabr - 7% 4. apiwiki - 7% 5. ubertwitter - 3% 6. hootsuite - 3% 7. twitpic - 2% 8. mobileways - 1% others were identi, mobileways, facebook it would appear that majority of the users access twitter via their mobile phones...directly through the web and others through apps. Most of this data will be accesible via the next release of Trendy Desktop likely coming out next week...

I'm surprised clients like Tweetdeck, Gravity & Echofon that i believe are hugely popular are not on that list! On Sun, May 2, 2010 at 10:58 PM, Jacob Ayienda <jacobayienda@gmail.com>wrote:

TweetDeck and Seesmic are largely Desktop Adobe Air apps and are not popularly used by most kenyans, probably because of the difficulty in installation and they appear to be really slow although feature packed. Echofon had a few hits 0.5%, gravity never appeared once.
