Weblogs and power laws After Clay Sharky's paper visited Jason Kottke's post titled "Weblogs and power laws". Ooo! (my brain overheated .. I need an upgrade .. a Mod chip .. anyone) I paused for a minute on the section, "But what are weblogs competing for? ...", and asked myself this question. Am I competing? I gotta admit I constantly check for comments, look at the Referers, goto Google searching for "ore no buloggu", and checkout my BlogShares. Checking my digital popularity (getting digitally slapped in the face.. ego level dropping). Competing for eyeballs. Want to be heard!?! ... Is that what's pushing me to post in a subliminal way? Ponder, ponder, ponder ... hmm. Thinking about  UltraBob and Gary's "Brain Fart" posts. 5:19:21 PM    comment []

Power Laws, Weblogs, and Inequality Listening to the book Linked, I keep hearing the term Power Law. It seems like a major part of network theory, but I never stopped to see what a graph would look like. Came across Clay Sharky's paper today (through Joi's blog), which has some Power Law graphs. Aha! (that's my little brain working, it's a bit rusty .. kinda slow, I admit) 11:36:27 AM    comment []
