Twitter Social Network (Munmun)
A Twitter (following network sample) dataset of 465,017 nodes and 834,797 edges, collected by Munmun De Choudhury et al. via Twitter API. Each record contains directed: True, weighted: False, signed: False, temporal: False. Large directed Twitter following network of 465k users and 835k edges, collected via API sampling. Unweighted directed graph suitable for large-scale social network analysis.. Suitable for Twitter network analysis, community detection, influence propagation.
