[Air-L] Research of Facebook public groups (Page, Ruth (Dr.))

[Jen Jack Gieseking]

I was just about to say NetVizz is wonderful for this. Thanks for
developing it, Bernhard!

I use Netvizz data with Gephi to look for patterns of interactions and
forms of networks among queer individuals. I expect this group to be
non-hierarchical and found that to be the case. While not related to the
memorial sites, this is a solid example of mining public Facebook groups
for great information:

Cheers, Jack
