World Wide Web
Social media must contain
one or more
social networks
Crowds in social media form networks
Social Media
(email, Facebook, Twitter,
YouTube, and more)
is all about
connections
from people
to people.

Patterns are

Social media network analysis
• Social media is inherently made of networks,
– which are created when people link and reply.
• Collections of connections have an emergent shape,
– Some shapes are better than others.
• Some people are located in strategic locations in these
shapes,
– Centrally located people are more influential than others.

2. What does the topic I aspire to be look like?
3. What is the difference between #1 and #2?
4. How does my map change as I intervene?

Studying the Colombian Peace
Process in Twitter
• Analyzing perceptions of the
peace process in Colombian
public opinion in Twitter.
• It is important to know what
are citizens thinking,
perceptions, and concerns.
• Q: who are the main actors in
Twitter in favor and against
the peace process who are
leading sources of
information about it?
• Colombians are the world’s
15th top Twitter users. For this
reason this social media
constitutes an important
source of information about
public opinion.

Take Back The Tech!
Reclaiming ICTs against Violence Against Women
• Launched in 2006 by the Association for Progressive Communications
Women Rights Program (APC WRP)
• Runs yearly during the 16 days against Violence Against Women (VAW)
• Website http://www.takebackthetech.net
• “16 daily actions” to reclaim ICTs against VAW and a Tweetathon
• Explored in the context of the project REACtION
(http://www.reactionproject.info) in relation to the interplay between the
“offline” advocacy strategy and the “online” Twitter networks over time
• Findings: shifts in the advocacy strategy shift the network structure –
moving from the outside to the online of the institutions (lobbying at the
Commission on the Status of Women) led to a centralized Twitter network
where organizational and institutional accounts play most central roles

Social Network Analysis for the humanities?
Social Network Analysis and Ancient History

1. New framework for
analysis
2. Data visualization allows
new perspectives –
less linear, more
comprehensive
Applying the insights of
social networks to social media:
Your social media audience is smaller…
…than the audiences of
ten influential voices.
Build a collection of mayors
• Map multiple topics
– Your brand and company names
– Your competitor brands and company names
– The names of the activities or locations related to
your products
• Identify the top people in each topic
• Follow these people
– 30-50% of the time they follow you back
• Re-tweet these people (if they did not follow you)
• 30-50% of the time they follow you back
Speak the language of the mayors
• Use NodeXL content analysis to identify each
users most salient:
– Words
– Word pairs
– URLs
– #Hashtags
• Mix the language of the Mayors with your
brand’s messages.
Speak the language of the mayors
The “perfect” tweet:
.@Theirname #Theirhashtag News about your brand
using their words http://your.site #Yourhashtag
Speak the language of the mayors
Some shapes are better than others:
• The value of Broadcast versus community
network!
• From community to brand!
• Support and why community can be a signal
of failure!
Three network phases of social media success
Phase 1: You get an audience Phase 2: Your audience gets an audience Phase 3: Audience becomes community
Some shapes are better than others
• Each shape reflects the kind of social activity
that generates it:
– Divided: Conflict
– Unified: In-group
– Brand: Fragmentation
– Community: Clustering
– Broadcast: Hub and spoke (In)
– Support: Hub and spoke (Out)

Monitor your topics with social network maps
• Identify the
– Key people
– Groups
– Top topics
• Locate your social media accounts within the
network
What we want to do:
(Build the tools to) map the social web
• Move NodeXL to the web: (Node[NOT]XL)
– Node for Google Doc Spreadsheets?
– WebGL Canvas? D3.JS? Sigma.JS
• Connect to more data sources of interest:
– RDF, MediaWikis, Gmail, NYT, Citation Networks
• Solve hard network manipulation UI problems:
– Modal transform, Time series, Automated layouts
• Grow and maintain archives of social media network data sets for
research use.
• Improve network science education:
– Workshops on social media network analysis
– Live lectures and presentations
– Videos and training materials
How you can help
• Sponsor a feature
• Sponsor workshops
• Sponsor a student
• Schedule training
• Sponsor the foundation

  • 73. Applying the insights of social networks to social media: Your social media audience is smaller… …than the audiences of ten influential voices.
  • 74. Build a collection of mayors • Map multiple topics – Your brand and company names – Your competitor brands and company names – The names of the activities or locations related to your products • Identify the top people in each topic • Follow these people – 30-50% of the time they follow you back • Re-tweet these people (if they did not follow you) • 30-50% of the time they follow you back
  • 75. Speak the language of the mayors • Use NodeXL content analysis to identify each users most salient: – Words – Word pairs – URLs – #Hashtags • Mix the language of the Mayors with your brand’s messages.
  • 76. Speak the language of the mayors The “perfect” tweet: .@Theirname #Theirhashtag News about your brand using their words http://your.site #Yourhashtag
  • 77. Speak the language of the mayors
  • 78. Some shapes are better than others: • The value of Broadcast versus community network! • From community to brand! • Support and why community can be a signal of failure!
  • 79. Three network phases of social media success Phase 1: You get an audience Phase 2: Your audience gets an audience Phase 3: Audience becomes community
  • 80. Some shapes are better than others • Each shape reflects the kind of social activity that generates it: – Divided: Conflict – Unified: In-group – Brand: Fragmentation – Community: Clustering – Broadcast: Hub and spoke (In) – Support: Hub and spoke (Out)
