graph-databases-CAN-power-future-recruitment

Consider these twitter accounts - wefreema, maxdemarzi, markhneedham, jimwebber, emileifrem, technige. Go ahead, look at them! They're all somewhat centrally related to neo4j. But I want to know who else is in the neo4j community. So, I offer these names up to my algorithm:

find_group(["wefreema","maxdemarzi","markhneedham","jimwebber","emileifrem","technige"])

The results below are organized from most central to least central within the neo4j community (as represented by the seed accounts). I think the results are compelling (and if their twitter summaries aren't compelling enough, please visit their twitter feeds and search for "neo" and "graph"). And with a few more iterations using our newfound accounts, I'm sure the results would improve further.

There are other questions you can ask as well. For instance, are you active on twitter? Do you want an introduction to individuals in a particular community? It's a fairly straightforward query to identify the individuals in your network that may be the gatekeeper for the community you're looking to meet.

I'm interested in hearing what questions you would ask. Talk to me! jfberryman@gmail.com
