Since this website is really just a big collection of social creatures with the ability to objectively designate who is part of our own network (by following people), I figured it would be a fun little experiment to model it... or at least part of it. What I did was examine each member of HFCS, download a list of each of the users who were following them, then arrange everyone in a [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directed_graph]directed graph[/url] where each edge between a node is directed from the source (the person following) to the target (the person being followed), in this case a member of HFCS. I then plugged all of it into some visualisation software and then exported it to different formats. [url=https://googledrive.com/host/0BzCiGftwimcfM3g4ZWQyMnFvQ3c/]Here's the interactive version[/url]. [b]What do the colours mean?[/b] In short, they're the different communities the graph software was able to discover. [b]Am I on there? Why aren't I on there?[/b] The data is a few hours old as of now, so if you've only just followed one of us, you won't find yourself on there. If you use the search bar to find yourself, you'll also need to use your unique name and not your display name as you had it a few hours ago. [b]I see nodes/users with more than one edge/follow who aren't members of HFCS.[/b] They are following multiple members of HFCS. 1 edge = 1 follow. [b]Note:[/b] there are 8,223 nodes and 14,210 edges (in other words, 8,223 users and 14,210 "follows" between everyone), so the web page may be a little bit slow. #blamedeej
