Analyzing Social Media Networks with NodeXL

NodeXL is the free and open add-in for Excel 2007/2010 that supports network

overview, discovery and exploration. Supported by Microsoft External Research

for 3+ years, this effort has produced a game-changing software tool that enables

students, researchers, and professional community managers to extract and

download networks from email, Twitter, YouTube, Flickr, WWW, etc. Then they

can compute network analytic metrics, filter out less relevant features, apply

multiple layout algorithms, and produce compelling yet comprehensible displays

that reveal actionable insights about complex social processes.

You can find a collection of them on flickr. I [...]
