In the Web3 field, technology and industry are changing rapidly, and new projects are emerging one after another. It is crucial to quickly understand market trends. Next, we will use Twitter, a ready-made tool, to help you quickly understand market trends and find reliable projects.
How to cleverly use Twitter data to discover the most popular Web3 project information? Here are some practical and effective methods:
1. Focus on key people
How can we find it as a newbie? Let’s first follow all the leaders in this industry. For example, CZ Binance (@cz_binance), Elon Musk (@elonmusk), Vitalik Buterin, etc.; as well as well-known VC institutions: A16Z (@a16z); ConsenSys Ventures, Paradigm, Coinbase Ventures, etc.; founders of known projects and official Twitter accounts of the projects.
2. Use other people’s filters to find popular projects
When you follow a large number of leading figures and web3 bloggers, you can refer to the follow lists of those trusted bloggers. They usually have screened the objects of attention, which can save you a lot of time and energy. At this time, observe the projects that frequently appear in your recommended follow list, which often represents the hot trends in the market. For example, if there are 100 people in your follow list, and a project appears in the recommendations of you and your 60 friends at the same time, it means that the project has received widespread attention. At the same time, we can check the trading status of the project's token on the exchange to further verify its popularity.
3. Use Twitter’s operating mechanism to continuously train
(1) for you: When we click on Twitter, the first thing we see is recommendations for you; this is the information flow recommended by big data based on your previous browsing experience. The information content is very large and very complicated. We can click (not interested in this post) and remove the content we don’t like. In this way, Twitter is constantly trained to customize the information content you need.
(2) Private list classification: In this industry, there are different tracks. Some bloggers focus on the airdrop track, and some focus on the gamefi track. For example: @WY_mask is a blogger who focuses on the airdrop track. We can click the three dots next to his name to add him to the airdrop list.
4. Use Twitter’s advanced search features
After opening Twitter on the web page, enter the content you want to find in the magnifying glass search in the upper right corner, and you will see the "Search Filter" on the right. There is an "Advanced Search" button below, and an "Advanced Search" window will pop up;
