Alex, this is very interesting. Do you think there might be a way to get one's hands on the original? If there is a person/persons at Yahoo to contact I would do it, as this is something I have thought about quite a bit and would love to see more about the definitions of core, light, new, long-time, large and small.
You can email me if you like.
- Alex3917 19y agoSo I heard this talk at the Cornell Microsoft International Symposium on Self-Organizing Online Communities. The presentation was called "Implications for Future Research; Theory and Methods in Large Scale Analysis of Online Communities." And the three Yahoo presenters were Ravi Kumar, Andrew Tomkins, and Cameron Marlow. Not sure which one those three specifically, but I'm sure you could ask any of them. I've developed this hobby of sneaking into academic conferences. It works best if when everyone else is wearing a suit and tie, you show up in shorts and a t-shirt. That way everyone just assumes that you're friends with one of the speakers, or else that you're Sergei Brin. :-)
- Jd 19y agoAt least one related paper is available online: http://research.yahoo.com/publication/structure_and_evolution_of_online_social_networks http://research.yahoo.com/publication/structure_and_evolutio... I probably won't have time to read it until this evening, but will post then.
- Jd 19y agoYeah, this is mostly about speed of growth in social networks and only looks at Yahoo 360 and Flickr. I will keep looking for the original paper and post back if I find it.
