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.
