Twitter Interaction Analysis with NodeXL
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I'm seeking an expert in social network analysis to investigate a number of similar accounts (around 20) on Twitter (X). The goal is to identify and report on any coordinated efforts among these accounts. This project will primarily focus on the Retweet & Mention Networks.
Key tasks will include:
- Cluster Detection: Using NodeXL to detect clusters of interconnected accounts.
- Identifying accounts that disproportionately retweet/mention each other.
- Detecting central accounts that connect different clusters (often coordinators).
- Analyzing Follower-Following Patterns: Identifying accounts following each other in a closed-loop network.
- Recognizing Synchronized Posting Patterns: Accounts tweeting the same content simultaneously or within seconds.
- Tracking Repetitive Hashtag Use: Overuse of specific hashtags in a coordinated manner.
- Identical or Near-Identical Tweets: Detecting copy-pasting of the same messages, links, or media.
Ideal candidates should have:
- Proven experience with NodeXL and social network analysis.
- Ability to detect and interpret patterns in a large data set.
- Strong analytical skills and attention to detail.
- Experience in identifying coordinated efforts on social media.
