Of all the social media networks, Twitter produces the largest volume of accessible data.

Every day, millions upon millions of tweets are posted in the form of advertising, customer complaints, political discussions, sports commentary and much more.

Twitter analytics cover a huge volume of data. The data have to be accurate, of course, but for social media analytics, Twitter offers volume that other networks struggle to match.
