Early reading. We have captured 2 original posts for this account, below the 8 we require before treating a median as settled. The numbers above describe what we have seen so far, not a finished profile of the account.

A typical post picks up 110 interactions against 606K followers, an engagement rate of 0.018%. Posts are seen about 16K times each, and 0.7% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.58% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.07 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 7% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 2 posts sampled, 100% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 8.7K interactions, about 79x its own typical post. Only 2 original posts have been captured so far, fewer than the 8 posts we want behind a median before treating it as settled. Read the figures above as an early measurement of this account, not as a finished profile of it.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 37,582 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 105,409 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 14:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

    NEWS: @jaketapper and I wrote a book and I’m damn proud of it. It’s about Biden’s decline, its cover-up, and how it allowed Trump to return. Pre-orders are really important these days so I’d be grateful if you ordered early. Like right now. https://t.co/1iK2kASVT3

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 110 interactions against 606K followers, an engagement rate of 0.018%. Posts are seen about 16K times each, and 0.7% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.58% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.07 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 7% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 2 posts sampled, 100% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 8.7K interactions, about 79x its own typical post. Only 2 original posts have been captured so far, fewer than the 8 posts we want behind a median before treating it as settled. Read the figures above as an early measurement of this account, not as a finished profile of it.

At 0.018%, Maureen Dowd sits above the 25th percentile of the 37,582 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
