Topological and temporal penetration. Upper panels: distributions of topological and temporal penetrations for the topics under consideration (left: ‘grassroots’; right: ‘elections’). Δr is the largest shortest path length between the initial seed and any node involved in the same cascade, where as Δt refers to a cascade’s lifetime. Middle panels: box-plots for topological penetration. Note that large cascades occur mainly for Δr close to the average path length (dashed vertical line). Lower panels: box-plots for temporal penetration. Cascades’ spreading success grows with time, and some exceptional conversations can last for months (note the broken axis).
