NSA Tweets Network
The first 3,000 tweets from my Twitter dataset collected by Scraperwiki on February 17, 2014. Visualization created with Gephi.
What have I learned?• The people that tweet about the NSA are diverse– They live in different places– They speak different languages– They have different ethnic backgrounds
• Tweets bounce between different people, but they tend to circulate within groups
• Why?– Hard to say, but government is an authoritative and
organizing body that unites us
