charlieannear Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 It’s taking me longer each month to do these reports. Whereas it used to be that each organisation would make 20 posts on Twitter in a month, now they make closer to a hundred, so it takes me longer to go through them. Bear with me if the report is a little late sometimes! You may see some of the same statistics on each report. I’m happy to keep posting them and it means that before too long we’ll all be experts and we will all be able to spread the word.
