January 31, 2014 – Kansas State University – Webinar: Social Media Maps and Measures with NodeXL

16JanMay 7, 2015 By Marc Smith

2014-Kansas State University - Logo

I will present a remote seminar at Kansas State University – on Jan. 31 about how to create social media maps and measures with NodeXL.

The remote presentation will take place 1-2:30 p.m. (Central Time) Friday, Jan. 31, in 301 Hale Library.  All are welcome to attend.

This is a map of the network of 2,785 Twitter users whose recent tweets contained ““kansas state” OR KState” over the 1-day, 23-hour, 14-minute period from Monday, 13 January 2014 at 17:06 UTC to Wednesday, 15 January 2014 at 16:20 UTC.

Workshop: January 28th, 2011, Salinas, CA: Mapping social media networks with NodeXL

20JanMay 7, 2015 By Marc Smith

Mapping Social Networks with NodeXL:
Finding Direction in a Sea of Connection

The Community Foundation for Monterey County has a Social Network Support project that has already applied network analysis techniques to map networks of nonprofit organizations (http://www.cfmco.org/index.cfm/id/18/Social-Network-Support/). They recognize that awareness and improved methods of working in networks can provide opportunities for new ideas, increase information flow, and help systems change. Mapping networks is one method to assess the structure of communications and work patterns. As a result, the foundation is hosting a workshop on Friday, January 28th, that will focus on improving network effectiveness by creating maps with NodeXL, the free, open-source network mapping tool. The Community Foundation for Monterey County is generously opening the introductory workshop free to the community! The workshop is free but pre-registration is required (http://cfmcmapping.eventbrite.com).  If you do plan to attend, I encourage you to download NodeXL prior to the workshop and bring a Windows laptop as well as any data sets you already have and want to map during the workshop. NodeXL is compatible with Microsoft Office 2007 and 2010 and Windows XP, Vista, and 7. NodeXL is not compatible with Microsoft Office 2003 or Office 2008 for Mac.  It is possible to rent a low cost virtual Windows machines from Amazon and access them on a Mac using remote desktop (see: How to run NodeXL on a connected Mac (or other platform) using Amazon EC2). Of course, you may want to get the companion book: Analyzing social media networks with NodeXL: Insights from a connected world prior to the workshop as well.

If you cannot attend I believe there will be a video recording that will be made available shortly after the event.

This workshop is a hands-on guide to extracting and analyzing a social network graph (with NO programming). Using examples from Twitter, YouTube, Email, flickr, and participant submissions, we will review the steps needed to take a network graph from collection through analysis and visualization to insight. Learn to tell stories about key people and groups with network visualizations. Participants will receive an introduction to social network analysis and NodeXL; be able to import network data; create a network map; and generate an actionable insight from a network map.

NodeXL allows users to generate network maps by importing data from Microsoft Office Excel. Participants are encouraged to download NodeXL prior to the workshop and bring a laptop and data sets when they attend to use during the workshop.

NodeXL is available from: http://nodexl.codeplex.com/ and is a project managed by the Social Media Research Foundation with generous support from the Microsoft Research External Research Projects Group.

Agenda

Morning session:

Introduction to social network analysis, examples and use of social network maps, intro to NodeXL.

Introduction to the history of social network analysis – how to “think link“.

Core vocabulary: node/vertex, link/tie/relationship, degree, centrality, core/periphery, bridge, hole, density.

Thinking by seeing.- Visualizing networks: pictures of collections of connections.

Networks are everywhere: biological, commercial, social, technical. How to extract the networks around you: how to build your own “edge list”.

Living in a sea of tweets, links, likes, views, reads, ratings, reviews, comments, connections, tags, ties, edits, plays, check-ins, contacts, friends, follows, favorites, Networks are newly self-documenting: machine readable connections now comprise the majority of our connections with one another, making our social worlds more available to analysis than ever before.

Introduction to NodeXL: mechanics of getting a graph open, analyzed and visualized.

Hands-on: how to analyze a social graph. Using examples from Twitter, YouTube, Email, flickr, and participant submissions, we take a graph from collection through analysis and visualization. Telling stories about key people and groups with network visualizations.

Afternoon session:

Extracting networks that matter to your organization: defining the nature of the nodes and edges in a graph is the fundamental question in network analysis. Who are the people, organizations, processes, entities that matter to you and how are they tied, connected, or linked? How to query your existing logs and data sets to extract useful network graphs.

Decorating network graphs: using size, color, transparency, visibility, images, and location to better tell a story with a network graph.

Filtering a network: revealing key structures and nodes. Use dynamic filters to remove edges and nodes from the graph to reveal only those who meet specific criteria. Use a range of attributes to limit the graph to remove clutter and occlusion.

Scheduling regular data collection with NodeXL. A guide to using the free and open data collector to schedule the creation of network data sets on a regular automatic basis.

Future directions for NodeXL: time series and graph comparison, additional data sources, web interfaces.

Node and Venn: NodeXL can create Venn Diagrams!

27JanMay 7, 2015 By Marc Smith

NodeXL updated starting with version 1.05 with features that make it fairly easy to create basic “Venn Diagrams”.  A Venn diagram is a familiar way to illustrate the overlap (or lack thereof) of two or more “sets” of things.

There are some very amusing Venn diagrams out there!  This one in particular made me laugh but I may be dating myself.

The Venn diagram feature is a special request from the Microsoft Biological Foundation group.

A Venn is related to but different from an Euler diagram.  An “n-Venn” diagram is a collection of closed curves (“circles”) on a plane where all the circles intersect. A “simple” Venn diagram has just two circles but complex diagrams can have more.  A 2 circle Venn diagram has 3 regions (A, B, A+B) and a 3 circle Venn diagram has 7 regions (A, B, C, AB, AC, BC, ABC).

A Survey of Venn Diagrams can be found at http://www.combinatorics.org/Surveys/ds5/VennEJC.html.

Our implementation is a bit of a hack, we basically let you define the X/Y location of 3 circles.  A richer Venn tool would make it easy to take set data and define these circles.  We may get that implemented in the coming months.
