Social Capitalists & Community Roles

This software aims at studying social capitalists, which are a specific type of users of social networks services such as Twitter. The tool is generic, so it can actually be applied to completely different systems, as long as they can be represented as directed networks (i.e. digraphs). We applied our tool to Twitter in several research papers, listed below. Our work was also mentioned on the blog of the MIT Technology review.
