Earlier this week I presented a session at the BIWA 2017 conference in San Francisco on using Oracle Big Data Spatial & Graph to understand how my WiFi kettle tweet went viral back in October last year, by using graph analysis and data visualization tools like Cytoscape and Tom Sawyer Perspectives.

I’ve uploaded the slides and embedded the demos as a series of Youtube videos within the slides, so you can see the new Timeslice-analysis feature in the Oracle Cytoscape plugin we developed for the presentation along with the mapping and analysis features in Tom Sawyer Perspectives that helped us work out exactly how the story went viral and who helped this happen … as you’ll find out in the slides.
