New Post: Twitter: Followed vs. Follower Relationship

Hugh:

I assume that you are using the Import from Twitter User's Network feature, and that you've checked the "Add an edge for each followed/following relationship" checkbox. And let's assume here that the username you specified is "Bob".

The vertices and edges you'll get depend on what you select for the "Add a vertex for each..." option. If you select "person followed by the user," then you'll get vertices for the people followed by Bob and edges connecting Bob to those people. Those edges indicate that Bob follows those people.

If instead you select "person following the user," then you'll get vertices for the people following Bob and edges connecting those people to Bob. Those edges indicate that those people follow Bob.

If instead you select "both," then you'll get all of the above, because there are some people who Bob follows and some people who follow Bob. And if the relationship goes both ways for some people--if Bob follows John and John follow Bob, for example--then you'll get two edges between Bob and John, one in each direction. (That assumes that you have a complete network, which can happen only if the "Limit to" checkbox is unchecked.)
