I'm trying to get an adjacency matrix of the followers of an institution in Twitter with the connections between them. I want to see how do the followers relate to each other. I know what to do from the adjacency matrix on, igraph
and statnet
packages allow that. But I'm having troubles getting the matrix.
I've tried working with twitteR
package to get the users one by one but I get timeout or the machine hangs. I haven't seen this done, but I'm sure there's a shorter way. Any insights or references on this matter would be great.
Thanks.
