The 20 nodes that (a) were retweeted the most (i.e., with the largest in-degrees) and (b) posted the most retweets (i.e., with the largest out-degrees). We also show the corresponding in-degrees and out-degrees, respectively. The largest in-degrees are much larger than the largest out-degrees, although the vast majority (94%) of the nodes were never retweeted at all.
