Examples of common exceptions are paid followers, sponsored tweets, hacked accounts, simulated popularity, etc.
Overall with these exceptions in play the data gets more refined and closer to actuality than the once recorded data.

This makes network visualization much easier to evaluate and process.
The goal for this would be to measure the impact and publicity value for influencers and possibly those looking to promote accounts or tweets
Network Analyses
Network Analyses- the systematic study of how individuals interact in social settings.
Network Analyses has been the focal point for research for more than 50 years.
Now that social networks have become a major part of individuals lives, researchers now, have to find interaction between individuals through social media.
Analyzing Communication Social Networks
Social Media creates influence, confidence, and dispersion of ideas through Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, etc.
Social Media also gives people the chance to state their opinion
As Burnett and Marshall stated, “the web is simultaneously a mass mediated and one to one form of communication.”
Analyzing Individuals Through Twitter
The most important part about social network analysis is identifying communities.
For example:
Twitter users who frequently “re-tweet” tweets may form a cohesion with other people using twitter.
To analyze this data, researchers would have to visualize the tweets and, color coordinate clusters or subgraphs so it can exude the data of who has retweeted the most tweets from a certain person.
Social Networks And How It Helps In Understanding Information
Researchers have been studying network analyses for almost 300 years in by using graphs to collect and understand data.
But now as social networks becomes more apparent in our life, it is more useful to analyze data by looking at one person’s point of view. For example: Looking at someones facebook or twitter profiles.
Displaying of Information Through Social Media
Information from journalist or PR practitioners, someone who maintains a relationship with the public, display information through social networks.
For example: Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton rely on social media accounts to get information out to their followers and to occasionally disagree on each other’s viewpoints.
Concerns With Social Networks
Communication is now a major concern when it comes to social media.
Social Networks can’t relate to personal influence, which is the interaction between two or more people.
Four Factors as to why social networks can’t relate to personal influence are:
1.Expressiveness
2.Permanence
3.Swiftness
4.Diffusion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdzfDKJ6pt4 start at 0:45
Communications Influence
Influence can disperse from the center of a social network.
Influence can increase when the person is “stimulating.”
For people to maintain a high influence level they would have to have these four principles:
1.Clear purpose or vision
2.Clear Member Role Definition
3.Moderator Leadership
4.Online and Offline Events
Prestige
Prestige- an influence that happens when others seek out an individual in the network.
For example: Sugar Bear Hair seeked out social media icon, Kylie Jenner to promote their hair care gummy vitamins.
