Found a great new website over the weekend that could prove to be an incredibly useful tool for some raw measurement of campaigns, events and activity.

It’s called Twist and allows you to plot the frequency of keywords found on Twitter. It’s quick and dirty as far as measurement goes but clients love the odd chart and this is an effective way of demonstrating the amount of online buzz being generating at any one time.

As a side experiment I created a graph based on mentions of “Gordon Brown” and “David Cameron”. There is a lot of talk of David Cameron being the new-age digital political compared favourably to Mr. Analogue Gordon Brown. But on this evidence, GB is much more prominent amongst the Twitter chatter!
