SMASH! Twitter Overview

Kind of almost like a follow-up to my Manifest twitter overview, really want to share some topline numbers on how people tweeted during SMASH! (Sydney Manga and Anime Show). Only "SMASHCON" was used in this hull (god knows how many people actually used "SMASH" in their tweets, but will be lost in all mentions of "smash", as a general term, on the internet) and I only looked at Friday, Saturday and a bit of Sunday.

I think it's safe to say that cosplay and the Eminence concert were some of the key favourite topics mentioned during the weekend.

Manifest (Melbourne Anime Festival) Twitter Overview

Manifest (Melbourne Anime Festival) is currently on this weekend and I set myself a task to suss out what people were thinking about the convention via twitter on the Friday and Saturday. I culled data from the hashtag #manifest and heavy filtering with 'manifest' and this is what I got.

BASIC SUMMARY
 471 tweets, including retweets
100 twitter accounts
27283 readership reach

TOP WORDS TWEETED
Not surprisingly, the top five (relevant) tweeted words were:

  1. Cosplay
  2. Going
  3. Awesome
  4. #anime
  5. photos

Top twitter words for Manifest

A convention just isn't a convention when people aren't dressed up. Attendees really like to spread the word (going to the con!) and have an affinity to the word awesome to describe something they like.

SENTIMENTS
Majority of tweets lied in either positive or neutral; and stayed consistent between the two days. Sentiments were all manually labelled, considering the majority of the demographic like to be sarcastic and describe failings as a positive thing.
