Twitter network analysis

Published:

A python based framework for searching Twitter using a keyword query which can be either a Hashtag or a URL. The program returns all tweets containing that query along with a lot of meta data. Our algorithm then creates a network of all the users involved in sending that tweet and creates a directed graph with users who tweeted that query as nodes and edge direction showing a “followed by” relationship (i.e. the direction in which information flows on Twitter).
