Wrote about FollowerWonk at Webmetricsguru.com last year and they have a small mention in my book. Followerwonk has some new features and it’s always a pleasure for me to use Followerwonk because the platform is both easy to use, but extremely powerful, for what it does. All of this was triggered by an email I got this morning from Peter Brey of FollowerWonk:
Hi folks:We’ve introduced a major new feature to Follower Wonk.We call it “Slice ‘n Dice”. It segments any Twitter user’s friends/followers in a number of different ways: by their follower count, how long they’ve been on Twitter, how many times they’ve tweeted, and so on.It’s a great way to really dig deep into your followers. Or spy on a competitor. Or find dormant followers. And so on.Here’s an example:We’ve also introduced a number of other cool new features with this release, too. Our “Wonk Score” is a measure of influential activity on Twitter. You can now save comparisons and slices. And much more.Please let us know what new features you’d like to see in future!Peter
Briefly looked at FollowerWonk’s findings for Social Media Analytics and if people put what they do and what they believe in their twitter profiles – I think FollowerWonk is a fantastic platform to find Influencers with – and I’ve said that before.
Looks like there’s a new “credits” system, that allows a certain amount of free reporting – but a heavy user might need to purchase additional credits, which seems fair, given the power of this platform.
Did a custom slice and dice report of my followers - haven’t yet figured out what to do with that information but I have really thought FollowerWonk was one of the better platforms for finding Influencers, esp by Geo-Location, and perhaps not been as well known or marketed as it could have been.

I also did a report of a group of 1000 of my followers and who they follow rather than the full number as I did not want to use up all my credits as I’m sure to be using FollowerWonk soon again.
