I will speak at the 2013 PASS Business Analytics Conference in Chicago on April 12, 2013.  The event focuses on data discovery, data exploration and visualization, predictive analytics, content management and architecture, collaboration, information strategies, and more.  I will speak about social media Data Analytics and Visualization in a presentation titled: Charting Collections of Social Media Connections with NodeXL.

This is a sample NodeXL graph that represents a network of 106 Twitter users whose recent tweets contained “passbac”. The network was obtained on Wednesday, 30 January 2013 at 01:09 UTC. There is an edge for each follows relationship. There is an edge for each “replies-to” relationship in a tweet. There is an edge for each “mentions” relationship in a tweet. There is a self-loop edge for each tweet that is not a “replies-to” or “mentions”. The tweets were made over the 7-day, 5-hour, 32-minute period from Tuesday, 22 January 2013 at 17:40 UTC to Tuesday, 29 January 2013 at 23:12 UTC.
