Also, starting a tweet with an "@" will make it appear as a reply to that account, and not show up in (e.g.) the main timeline. How about something like this: * T: There's more than #Wikimetrics.

(I'm not too familiar with ow.ly's capacities, but if they are similar to bit.ly, I could very well imagine this to be of practical relevance here, as in "oh look, that one person we know from Madagascar clicked on our link too".) For tracking click numbers only, Twitter's own stats features should be sufficient; we could share that number with you in this case. > > Thanks! > > > *María Cruz * \\ Community Coordinator, PE&D Team \\ Wikimedia > Foundation, Inc. > [email protected] | : @marianarra_ <https://twitter.com/marianarra_> > > _______________________________________________ > Social-media mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/social-media > > -- Tilman Bayer Senior Operations Analyst (Movement Communications) Wikimedia Foundation IRC (Freenode): HaeB
