Comments on: Updated SNA in R Code http://www.drewconway.com/zia/?p=1485 How can the social sciences, mathematics and computer science combine to affect national security policy?

I'm doing a study on nonprofit organizations in Twitter and have decided to finally learn SNA at the same time as I'm slowly progressing in my Python capabilities. I'm wondering if you have any hints for a networks newbie--so far, what I'm doing is using some simple python code that compares each of my 74 organizations' friends list against the other 74 organizations ids and creating a text file as output -- this is my adjacency matrix. So, am I doing something wildly inefficient here? Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Hopefully I'll be up and running with some analyses using Networkx later on in the semester. Also, JP, if you're reading, would you mind sharing your Python code? You can find me at www.gregorysaxton.net Cheers, Greg Hi Drew,

I just found this site after having started my personal experiments with SNA and Twitter. It's great. You posted resources, comments and suggestions which will help me progress I hope in SNA using R. I am using my personal Twitter friends map to start and decided not to rely on any library to download my map. I tried tweepy and another one before that but ended up working out my simple scripts which are more efficient at breaking the 150req/h barrier. I generate a csv file which I then read in R. Now I am trying to identify an approach in positional analysis to see if there's a way to identify the sub-communities I know I have. I am using the Carter Butts sna package for now. Thanks again!
