Abstract:
Twitter is observed to be a very strong platform to reach more audience. The thoughts that are shared on twitter
can have positive as well as negative impact. In this paper the focus is to find and provide some metrics to evaluate the spread
of any tweet that is made on twitter. This can be considered as the first step towards identifying the impact of any tweet.
Metrics are proposed to compute the spread of a tweet on twitter. The assumption while computing the metric is appropriate
APIâ€™s or web services are provided to get required information regarding the tweet. Spread of a certain real time tweet is also
demonstrated in the paper. In this work, the speed of spread is also captured. The speed aspect of a spread may be useful in
further analysis of certain tweets under investigation.
