Today in our second lab we focus on using the software called Gephi. We extracted data from our Facebook page using an app called Netwizz. Gephi created a spider-like connection of all our own personal Facebook friends, as show below.

Gephi has many tools that can be used as a form of analysis. This is relevant in a business context as you can gain detailed information about network systems, such as Facebook. The above graph has different colours in different section, showing the clusters of groups that can be broken down, such as high school friends, university friends, family and so on.

 

As shown above are the statistical information for the network overview.

 

Above is a data table with detailed information about my Facebook friends such as their ID and sex.

Today in our Infosys 338 tutorial, we have the chance to explore both Twitter and Blogger. It is just to get a better idea of how to use the tools for each program and get more familiarized with it. This is an example of a link, twitter.co.nz, which you can go on by clicking on it.

Above, is an example of the social networking site, Twitter. I have tweeted including a link, hashtag as well as photo.

 

I am a current user of tweeter, and as you can see, I follow people, mainly consisting of celebrities.

Instagram is another social networking site that is widely used. I am a frequent user of this site. I enjoy uploading photos, and editing the frames and colours that are available. I can use all the functions of this site such as uploading photos, editing colours and frames, tagging friends in pictures using the @ function and also using # (hastag) to write words.


LinkedIn is another popular networking site. I am a first time user of this site. I browsed through different parts of the site, editing my profile and adding details about my work and study experience. I have browsed through my homepage and learnt more about the functions of it.
