                            1. My thread on researchers at non top institutions is breaking my own Internet. I check my Twitter every 30 minutes, my notifications tab keeps exploding. I'm sorry if I can't answer to everyone, I will try to! @simardcasanova/1084962269719678976

                            To give you an idea of how unusual today is for me, those are my tweets' impressions.

                          I honestly don't know how to deal with so many notifications. Not complaining though! I'm glad we all have this conversation.

                  I’m not complaining, I’m just blown away by the responses I’m getting. It’s both amazing *and* powerful. And humbling too.

          My tweet on researchers at non top institutions in economics has been impressed ("displayed") 100.000 times in less than 48 hours. I. Just. Can't.

        I just checked the traffic on my website. It also exploded 😮 41% of visitors were from the US, and 11% from the UK.

    (I don't know why I share all of these data. I don't have a precise goal or anything. I probably just find interesting to document what "virality" means?

      Impressions and engagement data. Even if today is a bit quieter than yesterday (ahem), it's probably my second largest day ever in terms of impressions.

        I usually need three *months* to have as much impressions as I've had in two *days* 😱

          Correlation is not causation. But I think that the huge spike of traffic on my personal website was *caused* by my thread going viral.
