All those who tweeted with the event hash tag #SxSC2 got into the event leaderboard. The players’ performance was ranked by their Twitter activity, Kred influence and Kred outreach weighted 40/30/30 correspondingly. The trendiness attracted lots of spambots, which were easily excluded from within the Leaderboarded application.

We haven’t seen quite a response at informal conferences before, where the discussion got picked up very fast from the first half hour after the opening and steadily grew all the time, although, understandably, slower during the lunch time.
Event leaderboard performance
There were a few tweets about the event hash tag being top trending in the UK, which is a target point and something we are close to guaranteeing to customers who use our leaderboards at events in a very transparent way. Congrats to the top influential players who took part in the event!
