Abstract
Methods and system for social network analysis are described. In one embodiment, user interaction data of a time period for a plurality of users in a social network may be accessed. Network analysis may be performed on the user interaction data. A necktie-shaped graph may be generated from the user interaction data in accordance with the performing of the network analysis. The necktie-shaped graph may be utilized for analysis of the social network.
