From the perspective of graph theory, a Twitterer's followers would be considered their first-order network, and their "followers count" the same as their "degree".
Reach is the number of followers a Twitterer has (first-order followers), plus all of their followers (second-order followers). In the diagram above, the reach would be 27 (there are 28 nodes, including the Twitterer)

Velocity merely averages the number of first- and second-order followers attracted per day since the Twitterer first established their account.
average first-order network of a Twitterer's followers. It's essentially a measure of how influential are a twitterer's followers. A high value indicates that most of that Twitterer's followers have a lot of followers themselves. Social Capital is scored from "very low" to "very high" relative to other twitterers at your network size.
The following chart is generated dynamically and shows that as twitterers build their follower network, their social capital tends to start very high, build for a while, then slowly decrease. This is probably because as most people start tweeting, they follow a few high-profile twitterers who may reciprocate. Over time, however, they attract more and more people - and that means more and more people with few followers, including bots, spammers, and silent followers.
In social network analysis, a high centralization indicates dependency of the network on just a few nodes to maintain the connectivity of the entire network. Twitterers with low centrality networks would not have their reach greatly reduced if a few high-profile people stopped following them. Centralization is scored from "very fragile" to "very resilient" relative to other twitterers at your network size, implying that a network with only a few high-profile followers is very sensitive to collapsing if those followers leave. Conversely, a network with low centralization is not very dependent upon any few followers for its collective reach.

Imagine Twitterer1, who has 10,000 followers - most of which are bots and inactives with no followers of their own. Now imagine Twitterer2, who only has 10 followers - but each of them has 5,000 followers. Who has the most real "influence?" Twitterer2, of course.
