Those of you following my occasional updates here know that I have previously posted code for graphing Twitter friend/follower networks using R (post #1. post #2). Kai Heinrich was kind enough to send me some updated code for doing so using a newer version of the extremely useful twitteR package. His very crisp, yet thoroughly

Generating graphs of retweets and @-messages on Twitter using R and Gephi
After recently discovering the excellent methods section on mappingonlinepublics.net, I decided it was time to document my own approach to Twitter data. I’ve been messing around with R and igraph for a while, but it wasn’t until I discovered Gephi that things really moved forward. R/igraph are great for preprocessing the data (not sure how

I’ve plotted several word association graphs for this New York Times article (1st paragraph) using R and the igraph library. #1, random method #2, circle method #3, sphere method #4, spring method #5, fruchterman-reingold method # 6, kamada-kawai method #7, graphopt method The red vertices mark cliques. Here’s the (rough) R code for plotting such
Graphing Twitter friends/followers with R (updated)
Edit: And here is an update of the update, this one contributed by Kai Heinrich. Here’s an updated version of my script from last month, something I’ve been meaning to do for a while. I thank Anatol Stefanowitsch and Gábor Csárdi for improving my quite sloppy code. # Load twitteR and igraph packages. library(twitteR) library(igraph)
Code and brief instruction for graphing Twitter with R
Edit: I’ve posted an updated version of the script here. It is not quite as compressed as Anatol’s version, but I think it’s a decent compromise between readability and efficiency. Edit #2 And yet another update, this one contributed by Kai Heinrich. I hacked together some code for R last night to visualize a Twitter
