Right now we put a (src, dst) edge on the map if src mentions or retweets the destination. We should include additional information on the edge itself, namely:
mentionCount (int)
retweetCount (int)
This allows us to differentiate between users that mentioned each other once from users that have long, regular conversations back and forth.
This will likely require changing several places where we extract usernames from tweets, so we track the number of occurrences (probably with a dictionary) rather than the set solution we use now.
