In September I graduated again, this time from the
Faculty of Computer and Information Science of the University of Ljubljana. My graduation thesis, "
Analysis of Slovenian politics activity on Twitter" (in Slovenian "
Analiza slovenskega političnega prostora na Twitterju") is available
on-line and the code used to get the data is available on
github.
In my thesis I analysed the Slovenian political activity on Twitter, both on a party and on a deputy level. I tried to find a correlation between election results, activity (tweets per day), number of tweets and number of followers, the lexical diversity of words, hashtags and mentions used in tweets and the connections between the followers and the parties/deputies.
While researching the connections I created a few maps of Slovenian politics on Twitter. The first one depicts the parties (coloured circles) and their followers (grey circles).
The second map is similar, but this time it shows deputies (same colour as their parties). instead of parties.
The other maps show only the followers of the deputies from the same party. You'll find there's no maps for two parties, as one has only one tweeting deputy and the other one doesn't have a connection between the two tweeting deputies.

I generated the graphs using the code available on github and the pictures using
Gephi.
