Social Network Feedback The social network map is in Daypop's top 10. What's interesting is how this meme is being spread through its own social network pattern, beginning with Tribe Members, through hubs like Dave, Meg, Doc and SmartMobs, and now tipping to popular, but not mainstream, distribution. This is the tipping point in action.
But let's talk Gonzo Marketing for a moment, is this engaging in conversations? The feedback is still coming predominantly from those with stronger ties, Tribe Members, just one degree of seperation away. But the feedback is great and dialogues will ensue.
Here are some of the best comments in order of which we may enhance the project:
- Euan on Data Collection: I was writing on my own blog that the internet needs more cartographers and less architects! Is there any way the rest of us could extend the map?
- Ton Zijlstra makes the key point that we need a moving picture: It would be great if we could make sort of 'snapshots' of the networks as time proceeds. But I think this is only feasible if you can automate the data collection process further.
- Andrea posts eloquently on the need for directionality: One aspect may still need some tweaking: The representation makes no difference between one-way relationships and those that are based on reciprocity. Someone who has all the luminaries on his blogroll but whose contribution for whatever reason is not very visible will seem just as connected as someone else who is widely read and recognized.
- seb further comments on directionality: Horizons are not the same depending in which direction you follow the arrows. If you have a big inbound horizon you are highly visible and possibly influential. Many people know you. If you have a big outbound horizon you see a lot of landscape. You know many people. The two are different.
- Adina points out the need for clustering, particlarly on topics
- Zack Lynch wants it to be navigable to Ryze information. Others have wanted navigability to blogs.
So what do you think?
