Could you explain a bit what exactly you want to do in this?

cheerfulstoic commented 9 years ago

It seems to be a pretty common thing that people do when analyzing twitter. Often analysts look to see a clump of people who all follow each other or send each other messages a lot. An example can be seen here:

https://medium.com/message/72-hours-of-gamergate-e00513f7cf5d

Under the "Worlds Apart" section he shows the gamergate and anti-gamergate groups all talking about #gamergate as well as the people in between

Often I think the concept of Centrality is used.

Ok. Gamergate thing is very new concept, which will take some more time for me to absorb.

anmolagrwl commented 9 years ago

Do you want to do something similar to what linkurio.us and KeyLines does?

cheerfulstoic commented 9 years ago

Maybe? ;)

I haven't really used either, so I couldn't say

anmolagrwl commented 9 years ago

You can just check out their videos. They are like 1-2 min each.

The linksurio.us video wasn't too helpful, but this video I think hit close to what I'm thinking for this issue:

Maybe it would be a visual display or maybe it would just show a table of users/tweets/hashtags and a particular metric. I'm pretty open, though since nobody's asked for this yet I'm not in a hurry ;p

Hmm..ok..lets see. I am also still experimenting wiht couple of ruby and rails project. Will try to come back to this. After watching the video, I understood what centrality is. :)
