PART 1: INFLUENCE:
I started off this semester with 0 followers on twitter, and ended with 30, which is 100% growth.
The tweets with the most retweets and likes were when I made my own memes/polls. Also tweets that had rich content/mediaThe tweets with the least retweets and likes were posts that had no images.
