Data Exploration at Follower Level
Understanding Retweeters' preferences
We looked the combined data that we have gotten - each follower of SGAG, with a sampled dataset of the number of retweets that have for SGAG posts, grouped according to category. It is interesting to see that certain categories stand out and are much likely preferred than others. In particular, the categories of tweet of content most likely to be retweeted in order of highest to lowest preference seem to be School, National Events, and Politics, with 16.9%, 15.5% and 14.3% of the total number of retweets respectively.
Data Exploration at Post Level
For each of SGAG's posts, we charted how many times each post was retweeted, and favourited. With regards to this dataset, we wanted to get on a post level, who were the specific retweeters for each post. However, each post on average, had on average about 750 retweeters, and we decided to focus on posts that had more than 500 retweeters. As shown in the bar chart above, the number of retweeters that retweet categories that are related to school and politics had the greatest number of retweeters. This indicated that posts related to school and politics garnered the most number of retweets, which happens to be topics that many Singaporeans can relate to, like GE 2015, latest trends in school, etc.
