Social networks that matter

thumb

A new paper released by the Social Computing Lab of HP Laboratories discusses the core social network beneath the web of friends and followers a person may have across many social media sites.

By studying over 300,000 Twitter accounts they developed some parameters of what defines a friend as opposed to a follower or followee: in this case to become a friend two posts had to be directed to another user.

Not one to give away the ending I highly recommend you give the paper a read. For you non-academics out there the writing is digestible albeit dense and worth the time invested.
