Preview so far:
- The larger the node/text the more central to the network of users*
- Colour grouping equals a more similar sub-network
Issues:
- If your unique name is a set of digits I'm going to replace it with your display name with an asterisk. Please change it so it's what you want within the next 4 or 5 days.
*it might seem like it but it's not based solely on how many followers you have. For example, [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Profile/254/3391609]CamCamm[/url] (128203.31430531705) has more followers but is less connected to the network than [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Profile/254/4054624]Eli[/url] (150935.5738813099).

Of course Vien is one of the largest ones.

Edited by Deleted User: 11/22/2014 7:25:14 PMWhat do you mean more central to users? Is this accomplished by follower count?

[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrality#Betweenness_centrality]This should help explain[/url]. [quote]Betweenness is a centrality measure of a vertex within a graph (there is also edge betweenness, which is not discussed here). [b]Betweenness centrality quantifies the number of times a node acts as a bridge along the shortest path between two other nodes[/b]. It was introduced as a measure for quantifying the control of a human on the communication between other humans in a social network by Linton Freeman[17] In his conception, vertices that have a high probability to occur on a randomly chosen shortest path between two randomly chosen vertices have a high betweenness.[/quote]Nodes = users. In the picture the more blue the circle is, the greater its centrality to the network. Another way of looking at it is how well a given node connects to other nodes. For example, if you looked at a red node in the bottom right hand corner and counted the number of other nodes you would need to travel through to get to the opposite side, it's probably shorter to go through the centre where the blue nodes can more easily connect you to the other nodes than it would be to travel through all the red nodes around the outside.

Edited by Deleted User: 11/23/2014 3:09:56 AMWow thats pretty awesome. This was a good idea thanks for this. So me being teal blue and in the center means Im more of a bridge to Users basically. Central to the whole sceme as a whole in lamens terms.

For the picture I indicated centrality through the size of the node (the circle and username), so the larger the username = the more central. The physical position of each node doesn't really mean anything other than to separate out the bigger from smaller nodes and make it look pretty. But... the fact that you can even see your username given how many users there are in the graph (8,500+) means you're pretty central to it. You might find that surprising since you have less than 50 followers, but you're actually in the top 30 for most central users.

Edited by Deleted User: 11/23/2014 3:23:49 AMWow, thats pretty awesome. Keep up the good work Daz. The hard work I put into being a decent member has paid off.

Edited by Jaaake AU: 11/22/2014 1:00:46 PMOh so basically it's completely dependant on your followers that post in this thread?
-
First I get list of all the followers for each person who posts here then arrange everyone in a graph (which you can imagine being like [url=http://anet.sourceforge.net/docs/user/fig2.png]this[/url]). I then calculate various statistics from it, one of which includes [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betweenness_centrality]how well a given node (an individual user) is connected to all the other nodes[/url]. I then use the value generated for a given node as a rank which determines how large it appears in the visualisation (the picture). The followers a given user connects to don't have to have posted in this topic. I also don't consider the followers of followers.
-
So it's all about how many of your followers are also following the the other people in the graph?
-
Not exactly. It's [i]how well[/i] you can connect with the other users. For example, if you were a major highway and all your followers were regular streets, you would have a high centrality to the network because the shortest path to get from one street to another would likely be along your "highway", so-to-speak.
