No control: yes, next version maybe :) We didn’t make the links clickable because:

Some Holiday Hacking by Raphael Troncy http://www.ayman-naaman.net/2011/12/20/cheer-up-some-holiday-hacking/comment-page-1/#comment-2110 Raphael Troncy Wed, 21 Dec 2011 10:48:38 +0000 http://www.ayman-naaman.net/?p=763#comment-2110 Interesting mashup indeed! The (shortened) URLs from the tweets are not hyperlinks, although there should always be Instagram link, right? Why not making them clickable? Is there a way to control the slideshow? It seems timed at the moment with no possibility to go forward and backward, correct? I look forward the next version where you can input a search term :-) Happy Holidays! Interesting mashup indeed!

Then again, it could just be that Cheerbeat is vaguely reminiscent of Sleater Kinney's penultimate album. I like the name Cheerbeat – instacheer sounds like an infomercial product of some kind.

It seems Twitter is becoming a game to some people and it upsets me. Great post naaman.

I think the same story about interacting it with follower count applies though.

The analysis was for the ratio is a continuous variable, not groups like you propose, but I assume it would give us the same results. Interesting, ha? I thought it would have a strong effect too.

But the strength of this relationship is reduced when the dyad properties are included. So this doesn't answer your categorical question, but it does answer a version that asks about the relationship between unfollowing and log-ratio. Again, I would expect that the full(er) story is in the interaction with other variables, like number of followers. A 1.5:1 ratio means something very different a different scales, I think. Users with few followers and a high ratio may just not really know how to use twitter or not use it much (so they haven't even bother to reciprocate).
