The Social Network, LinkedIn may already display “predictable imbalance”
May 8, 2003
Clay Shirky, in a post on Many-to-Many noted that with only around 200 members there are already signs of Vilfredo Pareto’s “predictable imbalance” in LinkedIn, a new Social Networking service. As at 10 pm EST, May 6th 2006, the network shows 200+ members. The most connected user has 83 connections, but the average user has only 3 (and therefore, the median user would have either 2 or 1.)
It will be interesting to track LinkedIn’s growth.
