Kerry’s map of the top 50 twittering journalists
Wednesday, January 7th, 2009
My colleague, Kerry Gaffney, has just posted her analysis of the network formed by the top 50 UK journalists on Twitter.
She says:
Looking at the original map, it immediately seems obvious that the PR bunnies of the world are far more likely to link to each other, but just to make sure we dropped both datasets through UCInet and looked at the density scores, and sure enough the PR network is almost twice as dense, sharing 1459 ties compared to 785 for journalists. Or a ratio of .595 against .320 for following within the group, so not quite double, but not very far off.
If you’re interested in this sort of thing (and who, these days, is not?) then I recommend that you take a look at Kerry’s analysis.
