If you want to see how your tweets impact the twittersphere and see who helps carry your messages the farthest then try our new “Retweet Gr4ph” tool! On our most recent hackday @dgrabec and @matijarijavec created a fun new app for our newly developed labs project that we thought we would share. Retweet Graph is a fun tool for graphing your retweets and finding out who is most influential and guilty of retweeting your irresistibly clever tweets! Have a play and tell us what you think
Want to know how it works? Here’s a simple breakdown of the technology behind Retweet Gr4ph:
- we check your timeline and find the tweet with most retweets (currently that is capped at 25 retweets)
- then we find all the users that have retweeted that tweet
- then we get social graphs of all those users (to see who is friends with who)
- we also check the dates when each retweet was created
- based on that we are able to construct the retweet graph (who has retweeted whom)
- and then we display it on a beautiful frontend with a pretty graph (the size of the dot in the graph implies the amount of persons spread)
Check it out and find out who spreads your tweets!
