@tony yes I was struggling with my words on Friday I should have made that and how some of the graphs were made more explicit.

The avatar grid was made using NodeXL. NodeXL has the handy option to change node shape to image. The images can be unique for each node and defined by an image url. The friend/follower data extracted from Twitter includes the persons avatar image url. NodeXL also has a grid layout graph option so it was a case of using the and tweaking the node size to get all the avatars in without overlap.

[I did try using the =IMAGE() formula in Google Spreadsheets but gave up when I saw the the save as pdf option didn't include the images in the output]
