Twendly Twendly dot com who’s the best InDesign Tweeter of them all
Twitter is a great resource for learning about layout software and technology in general, not too mention much more. So when I saw this new micro search engine called Twendly, my very first thought was who is Tweeting the most about Adobe InDesign. The answer is:
The Most Active Twitter Accounts Talking About: InDesign
@indesignstorm is first and he (Chuck Green – IdeaBook) is a great person to follow on graphic design and general Adobe issues for sure. @creativetechs (CreativeTech Training) had a great second place showing, which kind of surprised me. It was of course also great to see @Markzware right up there in the thick of things in the third position.
EDIT after publishing: I started this post yesterday and it appears to index not whom has done, say, the most Tweets about the key-word term over time, but more on a per-day or certain time period basis. For instance today @aj_wood (http://ajwood.com/)is in top position, whom is another great educator! Markzware feel to 4th place, darn – well anyway, furthermore, this tool is still in beta and surely there are many fine Tweets, like those from @rufusd [web page: http://rufus.deuchler.net/]which are not indexed yet… See their FAQ:
“What is Twendly?
Twendly is a different type of search. Instead of returning documents (or individual Tweets) it returns the people who Tweet about the search terms the most.”

Tim Bull from the makers http://www.binaryplex.com of Twendy, wanted to share this:
“I read your blog post with interest, I wanted to comment but user registration was “Currently not allowed”.
In relation to this comment, I can share some light:

It is in fact the first case (the most Tweets over time – at least up to the last 12 months), however a couple of different things are happening on the server at the moment that explain the behaviour you saw.
We cache the results, so they don’t change regularly.
We don’t index all of the data straight away (we try refresh it at least once a day) – interest has really peaked in the last couple of days, so we are expanding our infrastructure in response to allow more frequent indexing.
I think it’s likely that between starting the post and the next day, we refreshed the index, so a range of “new” people were suddenly added in, changing the relevancy of some of the existing ones.
Thanks for the blog post, we’d welcome any further feedback or comments – I’m particularly interested in how your finding the relevancy of the results. Although the ranking and order will change as we index more and more data, are the people your finding generally a good match?”
Cheers,
Tim Bull
