Our code-monkey gnomes have been very busy over the past couple of weeks rolling out some new functionality to help make Twitalyzer an even better analytics solution for you. What have they been doing?

1) New logo! Yes we finally have a new brand identity that distinguishes us and what we do – which is helping our many, many users to understand their influence and impact of micro-blogging conversations. Many thanks to @kriscolvin for her creative design (we were not easy to please)

2) Enhanced User Interface. We cracked the whip on our gnomes to finally realize that some reports and information were not easy to find. So we uncluttered some of the clutter, consolidated some of the reports and hopefully made the user experience much more enjoyable.

3) What does my score mean? In our giddy to get meaningful data to you, we were told by some of our loyal users that the data did not always make sense and inconsistent in some of the reports (Bad gnomes!) In this current release we looked at everything, looked at again, went out for coffee and looked at everything once more.

• Main dashboard: We are now using a rolling 30 day average for the primary metrics. Here is an example http://twitalyzer.com/twitalyzer/profile.asp?u=katzpdx
• If you click on one of the trend graphs below one of the metrics, the time period is also a rolling 30 day average for that metric.

4) All (ok, most) data in one place. Wouldn’t it be awesome if you could quickly change from one metric the other or display any combination of metric and timeframe? Well, now you can. From the main dashboard, click on “More detail” under one of the metrics (http://twitalyzer.com/twitalyzer/detail-metric.asp?q=Influence&u=katzpdx) We now display the details of the metric that you clicked on with the timeframe of last thirty days. From here, you can change any combination of metric and timeframe. Please note that we are still cleaning up on how dates are displayed for last sixty days, last ninety days and all time.

5) Tag me, Tag you. Our gnomes, when not stuck at their desks coding away, love to play tag and so do we. You can apply tags to yourself and others. Start with tagging yourself here: http://www.twitalyzer.com/twitalyzer/tag.asp . We use oAuth to authenticate your twitter login credentials. You can add up to three interest tags about yourself or your organization and then click “Apply These Tags!”. Want to add tags about another Twitter account? Enter the account and click the “Tag! button. You can now associate other Twitterers with up to 3 tags. IMPORTANT NOTE: These tags are public tags so play nice.

Our gnomes are now busy on working on the next release, but if you have any comments, suggestions or bugs let us know.
