I'm curious about how these classifications were done. I graduated from the MIT Media Lab a few years back, and after looking through the result set titled:<p>"A small community of users associated with MIT Media lab detected using the algorithm after 7th iteration"<p>I saw a handful of MIT undergrads listed, many of which I'm certain had no affiliation with the Media lab, while nearly all of the others I do not recognize, even as an active Twitter user. I chose two random entries from this list: 'RFheargaile' and 'realduedate', and found both to be of extremely dubious authenticity.

why is the com in the title of this post in capitals, when it links to lowercase .com and the site has no redirect to .COM in place.

This is really cool stuff! Did you come across any interesting retweeters and spam rings?
