This is a brief demo video about NodeXL analyzing Twitter social network connections among a group of users who all mentioned the term “digg”.
2009 – November – NodeXL – Demo – Mapping Twitter Social Networks “Digg” from Marc Smith on Vimeo.
This is a good demonstration of several features in NodeXL: social media network importers (in this case from Twitter), the use of a variety of layouts, auto-fill column mappings, and dynamic filters to reveal some important structures, groups and people in the graph.
Here is the source data in a NodeXL workbook: 2009 – November – NodeXL – Twitter Digg 3
Note! Excel has issues with security and workbooks. The easiest way to use that file is to open a blank NodeXL template and use the “Import from older workbook ” feature to pull the data into a workbook that your copy of Excel *can* trust.
This is an excellent video–very helpful. Could you please give a bit more detail about how to import the data. I keep getting an error message: “Unable to connect to the remote server” and “An invalid argument was supplied 128.121.146.235:80”
Marc – excellent video – would be cool if it would run on OpenOffice 🙂
Hi all,
Nice video!
I would like to use this template for an project. My goal is to create an automatic graph from excel data. Do you think it’s possible and can somebody help me to find a manual? Thanks in advance!
