What British media use to send their Tweets.

Yesterday we launched a “Newstweet Index” with @PortlandComms that aims to analyse on a quarterly basis how British media uses Twitter - what media organisations and journalists tweet about, how often they tweet and who leads the conversations around news (i.e. who do people pay attention to the most).

As part of our analysis we also looked at what media organisations and journalists use to send their tweets - what the more than 330,000 analysed tweets were sent with - here are the results:

Web (Twitter.com) - 31%

TweetDeck - 24%

Twitter for iPhone - 13%

Echofon - 6%

Twitter for BlackBerry - 5%

Twitter for iPad - 3%

HootSuite - 3%

Twitter for Android - 2.5%

UberSocial for BlackBerry - 2%

Twitter for Mac - 2%

Others - 8.5%

You can find out more about the index over at Portland and on our Lists page you can find and follow the journalists and media organisations we tracked and analysed.
