A map of Team GWS on Facebook
I love visualizing data. It can make things so much easier to understand. If you haven’t heard, there is going to be a new AFL team called Greater Western Sydney or Team GWS. There are a number of Facebook fanpages and groups dedicated to the team. I went to www.facebook.com/teamgws, www.facebook.com/pages/Greater-Western-Sydney/110850405598090, www.facebook.com/pages/GO-Team-GWS/201507074991 and www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=211851956941. I created a list of everyone who belonged to those fan pages and groups and the networks that those members were part of. I then counted the total members of each networks, identified the geographic location of each network, added the total number of people from a city together… and yay! I got the pretty map below.
People who know Australian geography better than me: Are the fans in New South Wales from western Sydney?
