For January, 2014:
If this winds up being the monthly average for all of 2014, we will reach 2,000,000,000 impacts and top 500,000 tweets! This is particularly amazing when you consider that 2013 had 970,000,000 impacts.
Big players in January include:
Thank you to all of these folks and all the other 40,000 participants. You are all rocking Twitter for brain tumor awareness.
Well the last campaign of January 2014 is in the books. So here are the numbers:
4th campaign in January:: Impacts: over 21.5M; Participants: over 1,300, and Tweets: about 1,800.
By giving a shout out to certain individuals, I never what to diminish the fact that every partipant plays a very important role in each campaign. The following are the ones who, in my opinion, deserve a shout out for this particular #BrainTumorThusday effort.
January totals to follow.
My apologies for my dilatory presentation of of the chronicle of the first three brain tumor awareness endeavors for January and the new year, My preliminary assessment leads me to the supposition that we may be mired in the winter doldrums. My current prognostication is that the culmination of our efforts will lead to between 150 and 180 million impacts, together with the additional statistics for the remaining indices by which we measure success.
Although these projections show that January will not achieve the level of success in December, 2013 (217M impact), our combined efforts point to a strong potential to attain my aspiration of 2 billion impacts for 2014.
Toward that end, please keep up the good work!
The Shorty Awards are upon us, and I have begun campaigning for my personal brain tumor hero Josh Wilson a/k/a @JourneyJoshuas a/k/a #superJosh. The purpose of this post is to provide instructions on how to nominate Josh. A separate post, if I get around to it, will explain why I think #BrainTumorAwareness as his category.
How to Nominate Josh
Unfortunately, there are one or two wrinkles in the process. To start, click Nominate Josh. In most instances, you will be taken to a page that looks like this (you may have to scroll up):
Click the above image to enlarge it so you can see the details. There are a few things you need to confirm and and do clicking the red button..
The typical problem is that the pull down box on the upper left is set to #Activism or any one of a number of categories. Unless that box is set to “Other,” the nomination will be in another category. That’s not necessarily bad so long as you are able to nominate him in #BrainTumorActivism.
If you have problems, describe them in a comment below and I will try to help.
Words fail me in attempting to describe the success of the 2013 campaign for brain tumor awareness. The only thing to do is to let the numbers do the talking. Are you ready?
2013 Totals
Impacts (deliveries to people’s timelines): About 970 Million.
Participants: over 47,000.
Tweets: around 170,000.
That’s right, nearly a billion impressions. I truly have no idea which, if any, of these stats are actually relevant. All I know is that the numbers are huge and it is clear that the level of brain tumor awareness on Twitter has been increased.
A huge thank you to every single person participation #BrainTumorThusday campaign had a part in generating these huge numbers. There are a few people who have been valuable t, nevertheless there are a few “MVPs” who should get a special shout out.

There is a new measurement category that may or may not be relevant. Some people are mentioned over and over again in tweets. I have no idea what it means, but it must mean something. In any event, here they are.

Despite my concerns over a the adverse impact of the holiday season, we had a very healthy campaign this week. The numbers reveal more: 4th campaign in December:: Impacts (deliveries to people’s timelines): well over 42M; Participants: nearing 4,500, and Tweets: over 10,000..
Everyone who contributes even a single tweet or retweet is a highly valuable #BrainTumorThusday participant, nevertheless there are a few “MVPs” who should get a special shout out.
Coming mid week next week, a wrap up of December and all of 2013.
Let’s dive right into the numbers for this week. numbers for the second campaign in December: Impacts (deliveries to people’s timelines): well over 28M; Participants: nearing 4,500, and Tweets: over 2,100.
Week 3 top MVPs (of course every participant is an MVP in my book), people who contributed a large number of tweets or people who delivered a high number of impacts:.
Let’s do the numbers for the second campaign in December: Impacts (deliveries to people’s timelines): over 35.8M; Participants: nearing 4,500, and Tweets: nearing 5,500. In this campaign, we had a lot of participation producing a lot of tweets, which demonstrates the breadth of the campaign this week.

Initial progress for #BrainTumorThursday seems slow, which I think is to be expected given that this is the holiday season. First, let’s do the numbers for the fourth campaign: Impacts (deliveries to people’s timelines): about 21.25M; Participants: nearing 750, and Tweets: nearing 1250.
Impacts of 21.25M seems low, but that is only compared to the most recent months. To put it into perspective, the totals for this first week essentially matches the totals for all four weeks in the months of March through August.
Here a few of those whom I consider to be superstars for the first #BrainTumorThursday campaign for December (in no particular order at all). They have been selected for either contributing a high number of tweets or a high number of Impacts).
Well, it turns out that I blew the stats in my post: 4th #BrainTumorThursday campaign in November. So, here are the corrections:
| Metric | Correct numbers | Numbers previously posted |
| Impacts | Over 26,000,000 | Over 17,500,000 |
| Participants | Over 1,100 | Nearing 1,600 |
| Tweets | Nearing 1,500 | Nearing 1,600 |
This shows that there were a considerably higher number of impacts from fewer tweets and participants. I have no idea how to explain that.:
