#Offtopic as a Social Network

No long-winded introductions here. I got some data, played with it a bit, and now I have some pretty pictures. You can check the related topic for more info. [url=https://googledrive.com/host/0BzCiGftwimcfbmxkZ2ZjS1BhSVk/]Here is the interactive version of the graph[/url]. [b]It is very large and will run very slowly (probably not at all on a mobile device).[/b] Details: - There are 9,228 nodes/users in the graph - There are 14,966 edges/follows - Click below for confusing math details[spoiler]*keep in mind that I only looked at the users in the previous topic and got a list of their followers who were also in the graph; I didn't look at the followers of the followers - Average degree: 1.622 - Network diameter: 11 - Average path length: 4.474[/spoiler] - The graph is organised in a few ways: 1) sub-communities (modularity class), which is indicated by the colours. Groups of users with the same colour were identified as belonging to an individual sub-community. 2) how central to the network of users an individual user is according to [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eigenvector_centrality]Eigenvector centrality[/url] ([url=http://www.activatenetworks.net/who-is-central-to-a-social-network-it-depends-on-your-centrality-measure/]read here for layman's terms[/url]) which is indicated by how large a node (a user) is. The larger, the more central to the network. 3) The edges (the lines you can see) which connect a user to another user is done according to who follows who. Now for some more interesting stats: [b]Top 10 most central users[/b] (according to [url=http://www.activatenetworks.net/who-is-central-to-a-social-network-it-depends-on-your-centrality-measure/]Betweenness Centrality[/url])[quote]Jun A266 III 207629.9777993628 Vien Quitonmee 205092.83032570817 CamCamm 152171.58541343795 randomraaawr 131606.30872542123 plasma eagle 130849.5502676724 FatherlyNick 123353.51050042499 El Burninator 121551.37220803613 burritosenior 116481.76570981082 o_____________o 108220.6863854502 Officer Nasty16 106337.3637434932[/quote]*the number is a ranking of how central the user is [b]Top 10 most followed users[/b][quote]Mark IV Mjolnir 554 burritosenior 481 o_____________o 423 Vien Quitonmee 368 CamCamm 308 Cortana 5 297 bobcast 249 DE4THINC4RN4TE 232 Space Whale 218 Six of all 6s 200[/quote] [b]Top 10 users according to [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PageRank]PageRank[/url][/b][quote]Mark IV Mjolnir 0.03521093586916116 CamCamm 0.0285201481663673 Vien Quitonmee 0.023247178738076187 Cortana 5 0.020476081092806405 burritosenior 0.019783530443378997 dazarobbo 0.019583703643605222 bobcast 0.019477472813405963 Tartan 118 0.019306169783243964 Achilles1108 0.01624050365498115 Officer Nasty16 0.015160473684842033[/quote]
