Real-Time Analysis and Visualization of Online Social Media Dynamics

Social network emanates from socially interacting entities that are represented as nodes with identical properties. These nodes are interconnected through different forms of relationship among them. Social network analysis (SNA) establishes interactions and defines the relationships on basis of theoretical foundation of networks and graphs. Social media involves in exploring several ways people share ideas and information through mobile devices, e-mail, posts, microblogging etc. Connection among users gets strengthened as they like, dislike, follow, tweet, tag, or comment over the shared idea. Various network parameters are employed to analyze the real time datasets generated from online social media such as Twitter via application programming interfaces.
