I'm thinking I'm going to skip over this and dive right into the code for the tutorial. Are there any things in this vein that you think should be covered (I'm assuming a bit of this is discussed in the presentation)?

For now I'm planning on graphing out the degrees of the network to see how well it follows a power law distribution, maybe run a few centrality algorithms, then run a module detection algorithm (all this with NetworkX.)

@greenstick no worries. I think the content of this issue is covered in this commit https://github.com/greenstick/neo4j-tutorial/commit/dff7cefd4ab34bee860dde513fa0277fd517a6b6. Let us know if you have any issues with coding stuff.
