Developers Get New Analytics for Twitter Card App Promotion

Twitter is rolling out new analytics for Twitter Cards to help publishers and developers understand how their Cards are performing.

Twitter Cards provide the ability to make tweets more engaging with pictures, videos, content previews, deep links into apps, and other rich media experiences. Now developers can gain insight into how their content is performing on Twitter, and find customized tips to help make more strategic decisions about the use of Cards.

The new Twitter Card analytics dashboard is designed to help developers find what matters and take action. Small changes such as using a different Twitter Card, conversing more with the followers, or installing or changing the location of a Tweet button can make a big difference.

Developers can use the Twitter Card analytics dashboard to see how Twitter users are engaging with all of tweets. The dashboard provides insight into who followers are and the rate at which they’re growing, which can help identify spikes in follower activity and find a correlation in Tweet activity.
