For those who are interested in using Twitter for their projects...
This researcher, Sudha Ram at the University of AZ, looked to see how news spread through Twitter for a number of news agencies. Nodes are twitter users, streams are retweets.
One interesting finding is the difference between Reuters and NY Times patterns of info diffusion: people retweeted directly from Reuters' tweets, whereas NY Times tweets were spread far and wide through long chains of retweets. Any thoughts on why this might be?
