Social Media Graders are a fun new aspect to the Internet. Basically they let you see your relative social media performance against others. They are fun, informative, and a great application if you monitor grades, performance or simply into the analysis of social networks. Here I took a look at the top 10 Social Media Graders for Twitter, and put them in one easy place for you to review.
Then tell me which do you use? Which ones are your favorites and why?
TweetStats lets you graph your twitter stats based on hour/month/timeline and a few others. The best part of the site is the ability to see your ‘Tweet Cloud’ and trending the current Twitter trend cloud.

How can you tell if you are you hot or cold cased on the topic of the day? Go to Twitemperature and it will tell you. Unlike other graders Twitemperature doesn’t look at who you follow, your followers or even the number of your tweets. It simply looks at what actually tweeting about verse what everyone else is tweeting about relevant to current in current hot conversations.

TwitterCounter is one of my two favorite of all the social media graders. Why? I simply like their stats and graphs, and how you can compare different accounts. One interesting aspect of the site is that for $199 per week, a person can become a ‘Become a featured user!’ to help drive traffic to their Twitter account.

Unlike other sites, twitter.grader.com uses their own method to calculate a reach and authority score, or as they
like to say:
It is calculated as a percentile score. A grade of means that @ scores higher than percent of the users that have been graded.
The number of followers you have
The power of this network of followers
The pace of your updates
The completeness of your profile
…a few others
I do like how it shows the website of the user being reviewed, suggestions on other Twitters to follow for free, and how it shows a Tweet Cloud.

You can even put a Twitter Grader Badge on your Website or Blog
My other favorite site is Twitterholic because of the ease in which I can look at the top 1,000 Twitters based purely on their Followers. Though it does also give options to sort by Friends, Updates, and the date a person joined, and also breaks down the groups to 100 person blocks for easy reading. It also has good links back to a persons Twitter page, and their website of record.

New to the scene is twittergrade.appspot.com which is a humor based grader. Its simple, to the point, and gives the user a good a good laugh.

Many folks may remember this site from an a password stealing scare that happened back in November 2008, because according to Adam Ostrow on Mashable “Twitter users began seeing Tweets pop up in their timeline that they thought they didn’t make themselves”.

Augusto Becciu created this fun application. Though the larger your network, the longer it takes to load. It is fun to see how your network looks like in this graphical form, and see who is connected to who.
