Although the Gaiaverse Twitter account arrived more than 300 followers during this period, its activity declined in comparison to the period between Dec. 2015 - March 2016. See the evolution below:

  • April 16: tweets (10), tweet impressions (15,300), profile visits (5333), mentions (3), new followers (15), total number of followers in April 2016 (327).
  • May 16: tweets (4), tweet impressions (13,700), profile visits (493), mentions (3), new followers (14), total number of followers in May 2016 (341).
  • June 16: tweets (8), tweet impressions (4,741), profile visits (350), mentions (2), new followers (7), total number of followers in March 2016 (348).
This is, in part, due to de decrease in pupblishing news and blog entries.
