Soup Page Rank

Inspired by jrmy (who also introduced me to soup long time ago) I downloaded soup.io's friend graph, and did PageRank calculations on it. Well, one variant of PageRank, there are sure countless such.

There's a grand total of 46827 soups in the graph. I'm sure there are a lot more soups nobody follows, just like there are ton of websites nobody links to, and quite likely a few that should be included except soup returned error or timed out when I tried to fetch them.

Nodes in the graph are individual and group soups. Links go from person's soup to each soup they follow (be it individual soup or group soup), and from group soup to each of its member's soups.

Here are top 100 most influential soups (most of them are cats and funny things, but some might be NSFW):

My soup is not terribly high rank of 1.384, but it doesn't matter since it's still totally awesome :-p

A big downside of this metric is that it only considers who friended whom, and completely disregards any activity, so even inactive soups can still have very high ranks. For example czerski moved to tumblr forever ago and his soup is still 56th on the list.

Using patterns of reposts as links (from most recent 100 or so posts for each soup) would probably result in much more meaningful ranks, but that's something for the future.
