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.
