Hi, thank you for sharing. What about using Twitter data stored into an excel file? How to place them in Nodexl and get different visual outcomes?

Hello Joitske, let’s see, for the version of NodeXL I’m using, the steps are:
1. Working in the “Vertices” tab of the spreadsheet: In column C (“Visual Properties” section, column “Shape”), change the value for all cells to “Label”. You can do this by selecting all of the cells and clicking on the NodeXL tab, then on “Vertex Shape” and then on “Label.”
2. In column H (“Labels” section, column “Label”), change the value for all cells to reflect the lable you want displayed—often a copy-paste from the name of the vertex itself.
3. On the map, click “Show Graph” or “Lay Out Again.” Your map should now have labels. It might be messy, but they’re there! Now make it pretty:)
Hopefully that works for you, too!

Hi Johanna, I always have troubles showing the labels – I sometimes manage and sometimes I don’t – do you know the trick?

Hi all,

Here’s a visualization from Marc Smith (@marc_smith), which uses the post-conference week data: https://twitter.com/marc_smith/status/396303552596803584

Once you click the link for his social network map, try clicking on “view an interactive version of this graph.” I like that version because it helps you see the strength of the relationships between players.

Enjoy! Ann
