The particular case of a peculiar age
Person-to-person networking does not undermine distance. But it makes distance secondary to specific
social relationships. Each individual has their own unique relationships. Like a thumbprint.
We live in an age of access. To be local is to be accessible.

Reasons for friends on SNS1. Actual friends 2. Acquaintances, family members, colleagues 3. It would be socially inappropriate to say no because you know them 4. Having lots of Friends makes you look popular 5. It’s a way of indicating that you are a fan (of that person, band, etc.) 6. Your list of Friends reveals who you are 7. Their Profile is cool so being Friends makes you look cool 8. Collecting Friends lets you see more people (Friendster) 9. It’s the only way to see a private Profile (MySpace) 10. Being Friends lets you see someone’s bulletins and their Friends-only blog
posts (MySpace) 11. You want them to see your bulletins, private Profile, private blog (MySpace) 12. You can use your Friends list to find someone later 13. It’s easier to say yes than no.

But again, scale matters.
Men with 500 friends only have mutual conversations with 10 of them. Its up to 16 for women.
That’s less than 4% of friends.

So what?
• Lurking within any social network site profile is a host of clustered peers. Discovering these groups through community detection is an effective way to bring coherence to a profile, and help it scale.
• Consider: planning a party, recommending a concert, sending out important news.

Nearness is now a social property as
much as a spatial one.This is not the same thing as collaborative
filtering. Networks do not signify similarity, they signify community. These are the people that do things together,
disclose information to each other.

Looking forwardParticular relationships create networks.
Norms of access create overload.
Thinking local is one solution, but it is partial.
We need to create contexts, so users don’t have to.
