			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When we started the #socialmedia Tuesday discussions there really wasn&#8217;t a whole lot of use of the #socialmedia hashtag on twitter. As we and others used it more and more, spammers have jumped in and now the #socialmedia hashtag is flooded with #socialmedia tweets</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>Since March 23rd 2009 we have been capturing every #socialmedia tweet to  that has been tweeted. You can see in the graph below that the general use of #socialmedia has grown substantially.  No longer just a little spike on Tuesdays, all week long there is #socialmedia activity.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-497" title="social-media-stats" src="http://www.mckyton.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/social-media-stats.png" alt="social-media-stats" width="560" height="59" /></p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>So far we have captured <strong>271, 500 #socialmedia tweets</strong>. However the pace of tweets is increasing quickly and we have capture over<strong> 50,000 #socialmedia tweets in just the last 30 days</strong>.</p>
<p>All of these tweets have been made by a total of<strong> 46,781 twitterers</strong></p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>As a result  the <a href="http://hashtagsocialmedia.com" target="_blank">hashtagsocialmedia.com</a> website has gained more attention and you can see the increase in unique IPs in the graph below.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-494" title="hashtagsocialmedia-uniques" src="http://www.mckyton.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/hashtagsocialmedia-uniques1.jpg" alt="hashtagsocialmedia-uniques" width="558" height="119" /></p>
<p>To be fair, our system has capture tweets on days when twitter users have been hacked/hijacked as well as days when the Twitter API failed to produce results. So considering these anomalies we have a pretty accurate picture of the use of #socialmedia.com.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>I wonder if there are any other hashtags on twitter used as much and for so many months consistently as #socialmedia.</p>
