	Social network - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Research in a number of academic fields have demonstrated that social networks operate on many levels, from families up to the level of nations, and play a critical role in determining the way problems are solved, organizations are run, and the degree to which individuals succeed in achieving their goals.
		Social network theory produces an alternate view, where the attributes of individuals are less important than their relationships and ties with other actors within the network.
		Social network theory in the social sciences began with the urbanization studies of the "Manchester School" (centered around Max Gluckman), done mainly in Zambia during the 1960s.

	Social network
		Social networks are often the basis of cross-cultural studies in sociology and anthropology.
		Joi Ito suggests that the concept of the social network is crucial to what he calls emergent democracy — the vital link between the creative network of at most a dozen people, and the global power networks created by religion, language, tribe and kin affiliations, and ethical traditions associated with them.
		Social networks can also be organised around business concepts, as for example in the case of Ecademy, Europe's largest Trusted Business Network.

	PieSpy - Inferring and Visualizing Social Network on IRC
		Social network analysis [Kre2002] concerns itself with the measuring of relationships and flows between entities.
		The network is modeled as a graph, consisting of a set of nodes and edges, where each node represents a user and an edge represents a relationship between a pair of nodes, as shown in Figure 1.
		Visualization of social networks is important, as it allows the viewer to determine facts about nodes and relationships between nodes more rapidly than examining the raw mathematical model.

		It is a system that would enhance the power of social networks by using interactive digital media to exploit the transitive nature of trust through the principle of six degrees of connection.
		These ad hoc social networks would be initiated by an individual sending a request for participation in a narrowly defined project; the message would then be forwarded automatically based on data in digital profiles; the resulting ad hoc community (or swarm) would dissolve with the completion of the stated objective.
		In life, we enter into social networks either because we are attracted to the ideas and activities at the center of a particular group, or we are introduced into the group by someone we know.

		The editors are therefore particularly interested in papers that attempt to uncover the processes by which social networks emerge, evolve and have consequences for other aspects of human behavior.

		When networked personal computing was first developed, engineers concentrated on extending creativity among individuals and enhancing collaboration between a few.
		This paper proposes the creation of an Augmented Social Network (ASN) that would build identity and trust into the architecture of the Internet, in the public interest, in order to facilitate introductions between people who share affinities or complimentary capabilities across social networks.
		Part 1 of the paper discusses the concepts behind the ASN, why it is important to pursue such a project today, and the dangers civil society faces if it is not pursued.

	Connectedness: Discussion with Valdis Krebs: What is a "social" network?
		For those of you not familiar with him, Valdis is a notable entrepreneur of social network analysis with an impressive record of consulting and a nice library of white papers; he has also created one of the more convenient network visualization and analysis tools, InFlow.
		Definition two of "social" is "marked by pleasant companionship with friends." This definition actually feels more natural to me than #1, and provides the context in which we must distinguish social networks from task, strategy, career, knowledge and innovation networks.
		And that is clearly a distinction worth making -- these types of networks not only involve different flavors of relationships, but they also behave differently as networks.
