blog post on visualising relationships on twitter and other social networks
Excellent analysis of how conversations around pieces of content constitute a new kind of hidden social network that ride on our social graph, based on Huberman et al "Social networks that matter: Twitter under the microscope."
Scholars, advertisers and political activists see massive online social networks as a representation of social interactions that can be used to study the propagation of ideas, social bond dynamics and viral marketing, among others. But the linked structures of social networks do not reveal actual interactions among people. Scarcity of attention and the daily rhythms of life and work makes people default to interacting with those few that matter and that reciprocate their attention. A study of social interactions within Twitter reveals that the driver of usage is a sparse and hidden network of connections underlying the “declared” set of friends and followers.
This is an excellent article. I have not read the full report via PDF but it can be linked to from here.
