The limits of homophily
October 09, 2007
Thanks to Frances Bell for drawing my attention to this article, and to a really useful word. I've been talking about the issues of homophily within social networking sites and practices for some time now, but without having an actual word to describe what it was I was getting at. So cheers Frances! Homophily in this ...

The BIMA Facebook debate, & Chris Kelly's announcement today
October 19, 2007
