High network density in twitter UK PR community

For this graph we took a list of the top 50 PR twitterers as measured by Stephen Waddington (Nov 2008). We added “twitter*” to the canonify exception list to identify individual twitterers (this isn’t perfect — the regex may need some tweaking) and further limited the crawl to domains that contained the word “twitter” using the Whitelist function.

Again – look at how dense the network is here.

Most of the time we use UCINET and NetDraw to analyze the data from Rufus. Rufus exports crawl data to a Pajek .net file by default. But we can also export GraphML and read the data into other tools that handle that format. This is a test we ran of this feature using yEd

It’s not working beautifully yet, but it is working.
