Analyzing Social Media Networks with NodeXL

NodeXL is the free and open add-in for Excel 2007/2010 that supports network
overview, discovery and exploration. Supported by Microsoft External Research
for 3+ years, this effort has produced a game-changing software tool that enables
students, researchers, and professional community managers to extract and
download networks from email, Twitter, YouTube, Flickr, WWW, etc. Then they
can compute network analytic metrics, filter out less relevant features, apply
multiple layout algorithms, and produce compelling yet comprehensible displays
that reveal actionable insights about complex social processes.

Book: Analyzing Social Media Networks with NodeXL: Insights from a connected world now available

13SepMay 7, 2015 By Marc Smith

In Stock!

The book Analyzing Social Media Networks with NodeXL: Insights from a connected world is now available [Amazon] from Morgan-Kaufman. Co-authored by Professor Derek Hansen (College of Information Studies) and Professor Ben Shneiderman (Computer Science/Human Computer Interaction Lab) from the University of Maryland and Marc Smith from Connected Action, the book is a introduction and guide to the application of social network analysis to social media.  The introductory chapters introduce the history and concepts of social network analysis an the varieties of social media, highlighting the presence of a common data structure, the network, in otherwise diverse social media systems including email, Twitter, Facebook, the WWW, Wikis, Blogs, flickr, an YouTube.  The central section of the book reviews a step-by-step guide to using the key features of NodeXL, the free and open social media network analysis add-in for Excel 2007 and 2010.  Readers can move from simple hand entered networks of a few nodes up to complex graphs extracted from a variety of social media services.  The remainder of the book are focused chapters dedicated to analyzing the networks found within a specific social media service.  These chapters were contributed by leading social media researchers and illustrate the insights that can be extracted from the otherwise disorganized stream of messages, tweets, posts, comments, links, likes, tags, friends, follows, mentions, replies and ratings.  A recent article about the book can be found on the Morgan-Kaufmann website.

Paper: Tech Report at University of Maryland on EventGraphs

08JulMay 7, 2015 By Marc Smith

A new paper on visualizing social media has been released on the University of Maryland, Human Computer Interaction Laboratory tech report archive.  Co-authored by Derek Hansen,  myself, and Ben Shneiderman, the paper describes and visualizes the patterns of connections formed when people tweet about events like conferences and news stories.

EventGraphs: Charting Collections of Conference Connections
HCIL-2010-13

EventGraphs are social media network diagrams constructed from content selected by its association with time-bounded events, such as conferences. Many conferences now communicate a common “hashtag” or keyword to identify messages related to the event. EventGraphs help make sense of the collections of connections that form when people follow, reply or mention one another and a keyword. This paper defines EventGraphs, characterizes different types, and shows how the social media network analysis add-in NodeXL supports their creation and analysis. The paper also identifies the structural and conversational patterns to look for and highlight in EventGraphs and provides design ideas for their improvement.

2010 - May - 22 - NodeXL - twitter ICWSM muliplex edge weights color betweenness

SA2: Introduction to Social Media Network Analysis
Marc Smith (Connected Action) and
Derek Hansen (University of Maryland)

Social networks are the defining data structure of social media, created as people reply, link, click, favorite, friend, re-tweet, co-edit, mention, or tag one another. In this tutorial, we review the core concepts and methods of social network analysis and apply it to the collection, analysis, and visualization of social media networks. Using the free and open NodeXL application, learn how to extract a social media network and generate metrics and visualizations that highlight key people and positions within streams of tweets, videos, photos, or emails.
