Basic methodology: grab followers with Twitter API, import into Gephi, filter out accounts with >100k followers, compute "Modularity", color code based on modularity, size nodes based on in-degree, layout with ForceAtlas2.

It's fun to play "identify the communities". Any help in the ones I can't identify or mess up are appreciated. Suggestions for accounts to do next are welcome. PM me if you want any of the Gephi files.

Replying to @MenanderSoter @Conaw and
This is interesting, but "Traditional Buddhism" makes absolutely no sense in this context to me.

I was loose with the names. Just what it seemed like to me at the moment. The red looks more institutional, traditional (to me). The green looks more cowboy, non-traditional (to me). How do you see it?
