Think Link: Connecting to the Power of Social Networks with no Programing with NodeXL

Networks are collections of connections — they are everywhere once you start to look. Learn how to collect, analyze, visualize, and publish insights into connected populations. Using the free and open NodeXL addin for Excel, anyone who can make a pie chart can now make a network chart. Create insights into social media, collaboration, organizations, markets, and other connected structures with just a few clicks. Easily publish reports with visualizations and content analysis. Apply social network analysis to your own brands, email, discussions or web sites.

There will be a NodeXL Hands-on Training session at the MURTEC (Multi-Unit Restaurant Technology Conference) at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas. March 17-19, 2015

The IT Leader’s Guide: How to Map Your Brand’s Social Media Network

Speaker:  Marc A. Smith, Director, Social Media Research Foundation

Social media matters – it matters to consumers – and that social chatter can matter to you if you understood how to interpret it. Learn to identify your key social media influencers and use that information to amplify your brand’s message.  Uncover connections between sales and social media data, empower marketing to uncover new dining trends and brand champions, and even impact loss prevention efforts. This session will teach you how to apply social media network maps to your brand (and competitor’s). Restaurant executives, in particular those with a technology mind-set, will find great value in learning how to build, interpret and use social network maps. Participants will have an opportunity to map their own brand on social media using the free and open NodeXL (http://nodexl.codeplex.com) tool.

Bring a Windows laptop running a recent copy of Office to participate in the exercises!

This is an example NodeXL social media network map and report for the hashtags #MURTEC, #HotelTechForum, #RestES or htmagazine:

Maps and reports like these reveal the structure of an online conversation, revealing the key people, groups, and topics.

The “mayors” of this discussion are:

@htmagazine, @vivianfatule, @htmagazinetv, @colorvisionc9,
@auramusicrd, @team_techy, @paolamunnigh, @chasanmiguel,
@lissyvalerio, and @josiasortizg.

The most commonly used hashtags related to this topic are:

#htmagazine, #restes, #fromage, #fort, #hospitality,
#yoveocolorvision, #htrest, #viande, #antigaspi, #mobile

Maps and reports for a range of dining and hospitality topics will be presented at the MURTEC training session.

StrataConf 2014 – February 11-13, Santa Clara – Network Science Made Simple: SNA for pie chart makers

03FebMay 7, 2015 By Marc Smith

2014-strataconf_logo

I will present at the 2014 Strata Conference in Santa Clara, CA on February 11, 2013.

Network Science Made Simple: SNA for pie chart makers

Marc Smith (Connected Action Consulting Group)
2:20pm Wednesday, 02/12/2014
Data Science
Ballroom ABNetworks are everywhere, particularly in social media. Understanding networks can quickly reveal the key people, groups, and topics that matter most. But the tools to collect, analyze, visualize, and gain insights into connected structures have remained complex. Now the free and open NodeXL application makes network analysis tasks as easy as making a pie chart. The Network Overview Discovery and Exploration add-in for Excel (2007, 2010, 2013) extends the familiar spreadsheet, enabling users to easily access networks from a range of data sources including Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Flickr, email, message boards, Wikis, blogs, and other repositories of connections. With simple automation tools, NodeXL users can calculate a range of network metrics, create a visualization, and generate a report highlighting key people, groups, and top URLs, hashtags, words and word pairs used in the discussion network. Network maps have revealed many of the hidden structures of social media, defining the major differences in the shapes and structures created as people link to one another.

I will also hold Office Hours at the event:

November 13 at 6pm: Data Community DC Workshop on Analyzing Social Media Networks using NodeXL

05NovMay 7, 2015 By Marc Smith

Data Community DC Logo

NodeXL Logo

I am excited to have the opportunity to present a NodeXL workshop at the DC Data Community on November 13th at 6pm in Washington, D.C.

In this session I will describe the ways NodeXL can simplify the process of collecting, storing, analyzing, visualizing and publishing reports about connected structures.

2013-SMRF-NodeXL-SNA-5 steps for Social Media Network Analysis

For example, this is a map of the connections among the people who recently tweeted about the DataCommunityDC Twitter account was created with just a few clicks and no coding:

DataCommunityDC Twitter NodeXL SNA Map and Report for Tuesday, 05 November 2013 at 15:15 UTC

This graph represents a network of 67 Twitter users whose recent tweets contained “DataCommunityDC“, taken from a data set limited to a maximum of 10,000 tweets. The network was obtained from Twitter on Tuesday, 05 November 2013 at 15:15 UTC.
The tweets in the network were tweeted over the 7-day, 16-hour, 4-minute period from Monday, 28 October 2013 at 22:38 UTC to Tuesday, 05 November 2013 at 14:42 UTC.
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 network has been segmented into groups (“G1, G2, G3…”) and each group is labeled with the words most frequently used in the tweets from the people in that group.
The size of each Twitter user’s profile picture represents the log scaled value of their follower count.
Analysis of the network location of each participant reveals the people in key locations in the network, people at the “center” of the graph.

October 24th, 2013: NodeXL Social Media Network Analysis Workshop at Arizona State University

13OctMay 7, 2015 By Marc Smith

asu_logo

I will speak about social media networks on October 24th, 2013 at the department of Computer Science at the Arizona State University.

Invited-Talk-Marc-A.-Smith-pdf-copy-662x1024

 

The graph represents a network of 712 Twitter users whose recent tweets contained “@ASU”, taken from a data set limited to a maximum of 10,000 tweets. The network was obtained from Twitter on Sunday, 13 October 2013 at 19:56 UTC.

The tweets in the network were tweeted over the 4-day, 21-hour, 47-minute period from Tuesday, 08 October 2013 at 21:48 UTC to Sunday, 13 October 2013 at 19:35 UTC.

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 graph is directed.

The graph’s vertices were grouped by cluster using the Clauset-Newman-Moore cluster algorithm.

The graph was laid out using the Harel-Koren Fast Multiscale layout algorithm.

The edge colors are based on edge weight values. The edge widths are based on edge weight values. The edge opacities are based on edge weight values. The vertex sizes are based on followers values. The vertex opacities are based on followers values
