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:

How did you get the colors for each person?
-
[quote]It's a seperation of sub-communities. Basically, each color indicated a correllation between users. Users of the same color have more matching followers and followings than people of different colors. It isn't that you're part of seperate communities, but more that all cyan dots have more mutual friends than a cyan and a red dot, etc.[/quote] At least, this is my understanding of it.

Grací.
