Um, not only is it insanely trivial easy to game, but it would have also been easy to "TweetRank" by counting the number of @-mentions of an account.

- Fenn 17y agoAbsolutely, this is the technique used by Topsy/etc. That said, @ mentions have multiple contexts (replies, mentions, retweet, follow-friday, etc). The formal retweet structure lets you build a true/formally defined social graph.
- pierrefar 17y agoThe graph, as you say, is only for one aspect (retweets). It would be neat if a tool can figure out the context and build multiple social graphs.
