Awesome visualization Marc! I visualized the same network between 11/12/11 – 11/13/11 and it can be seen here http://http://gramsky.blogspot.com/ I’m still working on making the layouts as beautiful as you have. I did, however, use the ‘Group in a box’ method and hopefully did so in the same manner. I’m not showing the large clusters as your visualization shows but rather an increase in a small number of clusters. Unsure if I did something differently or if the structure of the network has evolved over the past month. Either way, interesting to see the same network one month apart.
