3. INTRODUCTION
Rediscover The City We Live In.
When you look at the data, we too live in a city that never sleeps. The State of Twitter:
STL 2011 Report reveals what our city is doing and talking about every hour of every day.
The report was assembled using the STL Tweets platform, which allows us to view our
city from a unique perspective, collecting data about what St. Louis is sharing and
discussing on Twitter: people, places, culture, sports, pictures, locations, hashtags,
politics, you name it. We’re sharing with you what we discovered, from the obvious
things like chatter about the Cardinals and weather, to surprising stats like the most
popular brands and the hottest words of 2010.
As a St. Louisan, the numbers this report reveals continue to surprise me. If you live or
work in St. Louis, you’ll find this information fascinating as well. It’s a chance for all of us
to tap into conversations and trends in our city that we’d otherwise not be a part of.
This is the second report we’ve released, and I’d like to say thank you to Twitter, the city
of St. Louis and the people who made this report possible: Marc Brooks, Heath Harris,
Ryan Stephenson, Eammon Azizi, Megan Anderson, Kelly Stephenson, Susan Etter, Brad
Hogenmiller and the entire Infuz team.
I sincerely appreciate your participation and interest, and I look forward to discussing our
findings with you on Twitter.

4. DATA
The data used to build this report was curated exclusively from the
STL Tweets database. STL Tweets is a comprehensive collection of
all the tweets that originate in and around the metro St. Louis area,
as well as tweets about St. Louis from all over the world. All data in
this report was gathered for the dates of January 1, 2010 through
December 31, 2010.

5. STL Tweets. Discover the True Pulse of St. Louis.
STL Tweets collects tweets through a Twitter Application Programming Interface (API) that utilizes a location search
function, returning publicly available tweets that originate within a 50-mile radius around the center of St. Louis city.
Additionally, a keyword search returns all tweets that mention a variety St. Louis-related words and topics.
STL Tweets pulls this data around the clock. That data is processed in the
following ways:
Tweets
Local tweets appear as a continuous updated stream of Twitter updates.
Links
STL Tweets determines how many times a specific link has been shared by
the St. Louis Twitter community and displays the most relevant links per
category based upon a value-sensitive ranking system.
People
STL Tweets curates tweets from everywhere to discover which Twitter users
are St. Louisans and which ones are just talking about St. Louis.
Categories
Categories are built around the terms most likely to occur for any given
topic, while also categorizing relevant people who tweet often about a
specific topic or are otherwise connected to that topic. Categories include
news, politics, sports, media, business, entertainment, life and culture.

6. We Can’t Get Every Tweet.
Although STL Tweets is able to catalog the vast majority of tweets, full coverage just is not possible. We do not get
tweets from:
Non-Tweeters – even if a user’s location is in St. Louis, we don’t know
about them until they post tweets.
Blockers – tweets from any users that block STL Tweets via the
Twitter interface.
DMs – Direct Messages are private tweets between two users and are not
made available to STL Tweets.
Location – Tweets from users that do not indicate a location within 50 miles
of St. Louis or a location that isn’t identifiable as a STL–specific location (i.e.
“Da Lou”, Earth, St. Lewis, etc.)
Protected Tweets – Tweets from users that choose to protect their tweets
via the Twitter interface cannot be gathered.
Twitter Outages – Due to heavy usage and extreme growth, Twitter has
experienced stability issues and sporadic outages. During these periods,
STL Tweets receives few or no tweets.
