I have now corrected it in the blog. <br /><br />Still, I think that your point holds, as that would be 200,000 contacts per person.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04284995441818864226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8180769075610486242.post-87018259757078307882010-12-13T11:28:02.836-05:002010-12-13T11:28:02.836-05:00I should really read the paper first, but what fun...I should really read the paper first, but what fun is that? What this suggests to me is that flickr is both an extraordinarily small social network (1 in 700 chance of a connection <i>at random</i>? that's huge!
