Mapping social networks
Posted by creining | Filed under Uncategorized
I was reading an article the other day about how social network mapping of online communities started and wondered when someone would start a project to map one of the biggest social networks today, AOL Instant Messenger. Well, lo and behold, today Buddy Zoo was announced. This morning when it hit slashdot I surfed on over and there were around 10,000 people signed up. As I write this there are now over 400,000. Wow, what the slashdot effect can do. Keep in mind that there are millions of AIM users and I can only drool over the type of social network analysis that AOL can do.
