Social media network analysis • Social media is inherently made of networks,
– which are created when people link and reply.
• Collections of connections have an emergent shape,
– Some shapes are better than others.
• Some people are located in strategic locations in these shapes,
– Centrally located people are more influential than others.

Studying the Colombian Peace Process in Twitter
• Analyzing perceptions of the peace process in Colombian public opinion in Twitter.
• It is important to know what are citizens thinking, perceptions, and concerns.
• Q: who are the main actors in Twitter in favor and against the peace process who are leading sources of information about it?
• Colombians are the world’s 15th top Twitter users. For this reason this social media constitutes an important source of information about public opinion.

Take Back The Tech! Reclaiming ICTs against Violence Against Women
• Launched in 2006 by the Association for Progressive Communications Women Rights Program (APC WRP)
• Runs yearly during the 16 days against Violence Against Women (VAW)• Website http://www.takebackthetech.net • “16 daily actions” to reclaim ICTs against VAW and a Tweetathon• Explored in the context of the project REACtION (
http://www.reactionproject.info) in relation to the interplay between the “offline” advocacy strategy and the “online” Twitter networks over time
• Findings: shifts in the advocacy strategy shift the network structure – moving from the outside to the online of the institutions (lobbying at the Commission on the Status of Women) led to a centralized Twitter network where organizational and institutional accounts play most central roles

1. New framework for analysis2. Data visualization allows new perspectives – less linear, more comprehensive

Applying the insights of social networks to social media:
Your social media audience is smaller…
…than the audiences of ten influential voices.
![Page 74: 20151001 charles university prague - marc smith - node xl-picturing political social media discourse networks - mapping the shape of the virtual crowd](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070515/587ba1b01a28ab81758b504f/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Build a collection of mayors
• Map multiple topics– Your brand and company names– Your competitor brands and company names– The names of the activities or locations related to your
products• Identify the top people in each topic• Follow these people
– 30-50% of the time they follow you back• Re-tweet these people (if they did not follow you)
• 30-50% of the time they follow you back
![Page 75: 20151001 charles university prague - marc smith - node xl-picturing political social media discourse networks - mapping the shape of the virtual crowd](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070515/587ba1b01a28ab81758b504f/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
Speak the language of the mayors
• Use NodeXL content analysis to identify each users most salient:– Words– Word pairs– URLs– #Hashtags
• Mix the language of the Mayors with your brand’s messages.

Some shapes are better than others:
• The value of Broadcast versus community network!
• From community to brand!
• Support and why community can be a signal of failure!

Three network phases of social media success
Phase 1: You get an audience Phase 2: Your audience gets an audience Phase 3: Audience becomes community
![Page 80: 20151001 charles university prague - marc smith - node xl-picturing political social media discourse networks - mapping the shape of the virtual crowd](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070515/587ba1b01a28ab81758b504f/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
Some shapes are better than others
• Each shape reflects the kind of social activity that generates it:
– Divided: Conflict– Unified: In-group– Brand: Fragmentation– Community: Clustering– Broadcast: Hub and spoke (In)– Support: Hub and spoke (Out)

Monitor your topics with social network maps
• Identify the – Key people– Groups– Top topics
• Locate your social media accounts within the network
![Page 84: 20151001 charles university prague - marc smith - node xl-picturing political social media discourse networks - mapping the shape of the virtual crowd](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070515/587ba1b01a28ab81758b504f/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
What we want to do: (Build the tools to) map the social web
• Move NodeXL to the web: (Node[NOT]XL)– Node for Google Doc Spreadsheets? – WebGL Canvas? D3.JS? Sigma.JS
• Connect to more data sources of interest:– RDF, MediaWikis, Gmail, NYT, Citation Networks
• Solve hard network manipulation UI problems:– Modal transform, Time series, Automated layouts
• Grow and maintain archives of social media network data sets for research use.
• Improve network science education:– Workshops on social media network analysis– Live lectures and presentations– Videos and training materials
