Twitter is Rolling Out its Tweet Activity Dashboard to All Users (The Next Web)

Twitter has begun opening up its new Tweet Activity dashboard to all users. An update to a support article shows that the dashboard is currently available to English, French, Japanese and Spanish users who have had an account for at least 14 days, and it will roll out to everyone soon.
