Visualizing Networks

The Twitter Network of an Anti-Mining NGO 

I've been exploring strategies for visualizing the networks of anti-mining NGOs.¿Who are they connected to? Since this issue is probably too big for one blog post, I might give a quick preview of how these networks look like by visualizing the twitter network of actors followed by an Anti-Mining NGO in Colombia with NodeXL. NGOs, activists, mass media, social and indigenous movements, environmental coalitions, stakeholders, policy makers, scholars, research centers, regional comissions and labor unions seem to be the actors frequently followed in this case.
