| New! NodeXL imports Reddit Networks |
|
|
NodeXL can now import networks that form in the Reddit platform. Using the NodeXL Reddit importer you can search for a specific subreddit or search across all of Reddit to find posts containing a search term you provide. NodeXL will now collect these posts and the comments along with the details about the authors of those comments to build a social media network based on reply. Reddit is a very large social media platform that often contains content that overlaps in many ways with the discussions previously held on Twitter. |

| New! NodeXL imports TweetBinder |
|
|
Twitter access via the public API, sadly, has been removed from NodeXL as a result of the closure by Twitter. Commercial data providers are available in the market and NodeXL Pro now has the ability to import data from these paid services, like Tweet Binder. This is a commercial data service that can deliver spreadsheets with all the tweets from Twitter on a topic for a particular time frame. Social media platforms are becoming increasingly unwilling to provide public data access without very high commercial rates. While commercial alternatives are possible, the shift away from public access to social media data is a harmful move for scholarship and public scrutiny over social media. The NodeXL team will continue to implement tools that enable researchers to access and analyze social media data sets. Our upcoming survey research tool is an example that will release soon (details below). |

| Coming soon: NodeXL Imports Survey Networks for Organizational Network Analysis |
|
|
"Org charts" are familiar diagrams that represent the management structure of large organizations and businesses. Org charts represent the hierarchy of the organization, mapping who works for whom. Network charts are a kind of "Org chart 2.0", a way to map who works with whom. By including horizontal as well as vertical connections, a network organization chart is a powerful way to visualize the real structure. Cliques, clusters, bridges, and overlooked centers of institutional knowledge are often revealed with these maps. Working with Professor Patrick Biddix at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, we have developed a new feature for NodeXL: Import from Survey Responses. Implemented by talented developer Bruce McPherson, this feature now allows for the rapid creation of "Org Chart 2.0" via a simple use of Google Forms and a new transformer that converts question responses into network connections. |

More than 60 participants from Jordan, Palestine, Iraq, Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, Qatar, Oman, Lebanon and Germany gathered to address the new challenges and perspectives of the generative AI technology at the Jordan Media Institute in Amman, Jordan, for the MILA Academy on Media and Information Literacy.
