#AFL hashtag stats: Posting client
I’ve been using TwapperKeeper to get information on all tweets tagged #afl as of August 24. (Twapper pulled all tweets from August 21 to the present.) There are about 2,200 total.
One stat that interested me is posting client. What client are people using to post about the #afl? I’ll give you a clue to the most popular: It is an automated one that involves no human posting.
