Network Analysis of Twitter Followers

In our age of extremely developed social media, the analysis of social media followers is essential. Through the analysis, we can be clearer about the composition and distribution of our followers, which can highly benefit the goal of operating our social media, and at the meantime, the network analysis can identify some key users and different communities which will help us be more targeted in attracting followers in the future.

​

So, in this project, I will take the Twitter account “Zibo of China" as an example, and try to answer the questions:

​

• Based on the followers’ data I can get, what are the characteristics of the composition and distribution of “Zibo of China” followers, and the followers of these “Zibo of China” followers. (Descriptive Analysis and Network Community Analysis)

• What are the important nodes (users) in the network of “Zibo of China” followers and their followers.
