I have posted 87 tweets since the start of this class. Many of those tweets where some of the most popular and engaging tweets that I have ever been able to create. Over the semester my Klout score went from 45 up to 50 and I gained 23 followers on Twitter.
Here is a list of my top ten tweets from the semester. I will try to analyze what made each of these tweets so popular.
