Cloud Giants Update:

Posted on X by @jaminball (Clouded Judgement (Jamin Ball)), Feb 6, 2025. Source: x.com · See its data

Why it spread

The post spread because it earned 216 likes, 39 reposts, 4 quotes, 79 saves, and 24,921 views, which is 8.0x the account's typical likes of 27, and the main reasons were many quotes and an unusual chart type.

What worked

  • The post uses a small multiples chart type, which is unusual and helped it stand out.
  • The post text clearly lists cloud providers with their run rates and growth rates, making the comparison easy to follow.
  • The post includes a source line, which adds credibility even though the design polish is low.

What to borrow

We could use a small multiples chart to compare several of our own metrics side by side, and we could frame the post around a clear update with named entities and their key numbers.

Careful

Do not over-read the low design polish or the medium self-labelling as drivers of success, and do not assume the quote rate was high because it was actually below average.
