More advanced statistics for Twitterhawk users

The “link stats” tab on the account page has now been replaced with a “campaign statistics” tab, this still contains the link stats information as it did before but there is now another added feature to keep an eye on your usage.

Below is an example of the new graph showing how many tweets you have sent on any given day, even tracking retrospectively right back to when you first signed up and started using the app.

You can choose to zoom in and out to different date ranges (see top left) to see more or less detail, the bottom section highlighting the date range you are currently viewing.

TwitterHawk referral system released

It’s been a long time coming, and requested by a lot of users, and it’s finally ready for public release.

The TwitterHawk referral system.

Now you can earn free credits, simply by referring other people to sign up to the site and purchase credits. Each time someone that you referred purchases credits, you will also get 25% of the amount of credits they purchased, including any bonus credits. (the % may drop off to a lower amount later, so get in now while it’s a generous 25%!)

What’s more, it’s not a one off, each and every time your referred users purchase credits, you get the freebies!

To refer users, all you need to do is grab your referral link from http://www.twitterhawk.com/free_credits and start spreading the TwitterHawk love.

TwitterHawk now uses oAuth

A lot of people have requested this in the past, and it’s finally here.

oAuth twitter authentication, no more passwords requried.

All new accounts created will be created using oAuth, and all existing users will be pushed over to oAuth when they attempt to view their account details or update their TwitterHawk Noise Ratio (which as a side note, is also fixed up now).

So if you haven’t already, I urge you to update each of your accounts to use oAuth, just head to your dashboard and click through to your account. When you do, you’ll get a popup requesting that you connect via twitter, when you click on the button you will be taken to Twitter to authenticate you (please make sure that you login with the correct account at Twitter). When you come back, you’ll jump straight back into your account page. It’s that easy.

NB Which ever account you login with when you are directed to Twitter, that is the account that will be updated / created at Twitterhawk.

Users can now turn off email notifications

Originally, this was not an option, as it was decided that all users should be told when new matches are found for them to confirm.

As I’ve received a few requests for this as the site gets more and more widespread, it made sense to listen to the masses.

Si, due to popular demand, you can now turn off email notifications when new matches are found. To do this, from your dashboard, click on the ‘edit global settings’ ink (top right of your stats bar), and select ‘No’ to the option ‘Receive emails’.

Blog upgraded

Keeping in line with noting any changes to the site, this is a quick post just to note that the blog has been upgraded to the most recent version of WordPress (v2.8)

Searching refined

As time goes by, and more and more accounts are being created, things inevitably begin to slow down. For this reason, the searching has had a small overhaul to increase stability and speed in getting your search results to you.

The result is a massive reduction in the time each search takes to complete, which should also mean the speed of the site in general will increase as a load has been taken off the server.

Improved link stats

From immediate feedback on the new link tracking feature, one request stuck out. The ability to be able to see how many times a given shortened link has been sent out in the ‘link stats’ tab so that you can better see it’s effectiveness. The change has been rolled out this afternoon.

Now when you view the ‘link stats’ tab, you’ll see:

  • The shortened link
  • The expanded version
  • What the full draft reply is containing the link
  • What search it is for
  • How many times it’s been sent
  • and how many times it’s been clicked

A great overview of your searches effectiveness, and true CPC.

TwitterHawk v3.0 released

It’s been a qhile between updates, but for good reason. A lot of work has been going on to get the site to a much higher level than what it was, and also introduce simpler user and more advanced features at the same time. The site has also had a complete design and logo overhaul.

A sample of the main changes are:

  • Introduction of the ‘dashboard’
  • Easier addition of multiple accounts
  • Each twitter account now has it’s own account page, rather than listed in one long list
  • All sections / tabs on the account page have been overhauled to be much neater and straight forward for their task
  • Each section is shown at first in minimized view, with the ability to open each item for more information / editing
  • The ‘add search’ section now has a tool to help build complex searches, simple click the ‘try the search builder’ button when you are creating a new search. This helps non-power users with location based and time based searching
  • The dashboard features a ‘twitterhawk noise ratio’ for each twitter account that allows you to monitor your twitterhawk vs natural tweet ratio
  • @twithawk current twitter feed is placed in the footer
  • Change log has been moved from a static page to a wordpress powered blog

So if you haven’t joined yet, now’s a great time as ALL accounts on the system before April 26th, new or old, will receive an EXTRA 10 free credits (even people who are currently out of credits).
