中文简介:
交流向互联网的转变,特别是向电子邮件、博客和在线社区的转变,为大规模研究社会网络的信息动态提供了机会。博客,现在以百万计,是使用博客软件更新的网页,使作者可以很容易地以时间戳的帖子的形式在线共享新内容。人们可以通过观察一条信息何时出现在不同的博客上来跟踪它是如何传播的。信息所采用的确切路径并不明显,因为大多数博客作者在撰写信息时不会明确地识别信息的来源。然而,通过分析时间信息、博客的过去条目以及通过博客或帖子互相链接的明确博客网络,可以推断出可能的路径。虽然人们可以从观察信息如何从一个人传递到另一个人身上获得洞察,但人们也可以分析网络,以了解如何轻松地主动地引导他们找到所需的信息或个人。对网络可导航性的一个测试是经典的小世界实验,在这个实验中,受试者试图通过他们的熟人链达到一个目标个体。检查一个组织内的电子邮件网络可以发现个人如何能够在本地路由邮件,即使他们对该组织全球社交网络的了解有限。
课程简介: The shift of communication to the internet, in particular to email, weblogs (blogs), and online communities, presents an opportunity to study the information dynamics of social networks on a large scale. Blogs, now numbering in the millions, are web pages updated using blogging software that makes it easy for authors to share new content online in the form of time-stamped posts. One can track how a piece of information spreads by observing when it appears on different blogs. The exact route the information takes is not obvious, since most blog authors will not explicitly identify the source of the information when they write about it. Likely routes can be inferred, however, by analyzing timing information, blogs' past entries, and the explicit network of blogs linking to one another through blogrolls or posts. While one can gain insights from observing how information passes from one individual to another, one can also analyze networks to see how easily one can actively navigate them to locate needed information or individuals. One test of the navigability of a network is the classic small world experiment, where subjects attempt to reach a target individual through their chain of acquaintances. Examining an email network within an organization reveals how individuals are capable of routing messages locally, even though their knowledge of the organization's global social network is limited.
