Analyzing Followers Network Report

Updated 

Follower Network Graph displays the top accounts followed by your audience and visualizes the common followers between them. Utilize the graph to discover new and unknown brands or find patterns in common sets of accounts followed by your audience.

  • The graph widget contains clusters of profiles following a Twitter user – denoted by the label names & their relationships with other clusters shown by the edges connecting them.

  • The right pane consists of top-level insights pertaining to the overall conversation or the cluster selected: Top pages followed by them, Top user-bio keywords used, etc.

Note: You can hover and click on the cluster names listed on the right pane (similar to interactions on the cluster labels described later in the article).

Interpretation of the visualization

  • Each cluster in the visualization represents a Twitter account followed by your audience. The nodes within a cluster represent followers of an account. Size and number of nodes of a cluster increase with the number of followers of the account within your audience.

  • Relationships between clusters are shown via edges, which represent common followers between any two clusters. Thicker the edge connecting any two clusters, more the number of common followers between them.

Interactions on the Followers Network report

Interaction #1: Single-click on a cluster label

  • On clicking any cluster label, the cluster selected will get highlighted. Nodes connected with the selected cluster will also be highlighted, so the relationship can be seen clearly.

  • The right-pane will update with information about the selected cluster.
