This is amazing news for 1.5 billion Muslims in the world. It’s actually pretty nice of twitter and very engaging idea that will increase the engagement for both #Ramadan & #Eid hashtags
Speaking of engagement, conversation about Ramadan last year was around 74.2m globally.
52million impressions in Middle east only, and 21 million mentions for #Ramadan hashtag, and #Eid’s hashtag received 3 million mentions
The conversation is growing very fast, up to 600% increase since march 2014
Witter also made partnership with @AlArabiya to help twitter users find out, with a Tweet, what time each day they can break the fast. Starting tomorrow, tweet @AlArabiya with #iftar followed by the name of your city with a # immediately in front (e.g. #Dubai), and the @AlArabiya account will send you the time for #iftar. This also works for #Imsak (or beginning the fast).here’s an example
