Good read. Did any of the rankings search Twitter for dissemination of articles? Or was that firehouse of information simply too large to track?

Great question.

I'd love to have Twitter data, but last year Twitter removed share counts from their Tweet and follow buttons, so it's hard to get reliable information about how many shares are happening for a given piece of content on Twitter.

However, I do think that if we had access to that information, Twitter would have a similar share profile as LinkedIn, especially in the HR space. Based on my experience, LinkedIn and Twitter are the most widely used channels for people writing and working in that space.
