- readme 11y agoAgreed. It's basically the well known "vocal minority" idea just applied to graph theory. I did not learn anything new from reading it.
- azernik 11y agoNot necessarily vocal, just well-connected.
- reagency 11y agoIt is uploaded to arxiv. It won't be published in a journal, since it is a trivial and non-novel result that _broadcasters_ have a larger audience than non-famous people.
- learnstats2 11y agoAs someone who has published a graph theory paper (in a journal), I doubt this is far away from being state of the art work. A lot of people are trying to apply graph theory in wild situations where it doesn't belong, yet this basic work on social networks and social graphs hasn't been studied in an academic way.
