Ran into this interesting blogpost over at Facebook by Paul Butler. A statistician plotted pairs of friendships by location, and came up with this really interesting graphic.
Click on the image to enlarge to 3.3mb. It’s a persuasive graphic. And, in view of the fact that founder Mark Z has been named Time Magazine’s person of the year, it seems even more compelling. Do read the blogpost.
Me, I haven’t been much of Facebook fan. I suppose I should be. In my line of work, much of the value I bring is in knowing people and networking, and it appears FB has really become “all that.” The very real privacy concerns are well justified. But again, being a “secret agent” in the real estate field leads to slow starvation. So much for personal privacy.
I am resolved to do better at Facebook. I think you can find me at this link. “Friend” me and I’ll try to be a better online amigo.
