Code and brief instruction for graphing Twitter with R
Edit: I’ve posted an updated version of the script here. It is not quite as compressed as Anatol’s version, but I think it’s a decent compromise between readability and efficiency. Edit #2 And yet another update, this one contributed by Kai Heinrich. I hacked together some code for R last night to visualize a Twitter graph (=who you are fo...

Graphing Twitter friends/followers with R (updated yet again)
Those of you following my occasional updates here know that I have previously posted code for graphing Twitter friend/follower networks using R (post #1. post #2). Kai Heinrich was kind enough to send me some updated code for doing so using a newer version of the extremely useful twitteR package. His very crisp, yet thoroughly documented script ...
