Shortcuts

In the reading Robert Cross mention how a member from one network living in one part of the country can be friends with another group from another network much father away, the connection can be classified as shortcuts. I can apply this concept to may life because I am from Minnesota but I attend school in Washington DC. The networks and connection I make from college are mostly from the east coast and yet I still have old friends from high school.

Last night I went to a party hosted by a friend of mine who is from St. Croix, US Virgin Island. through out the night I met her friends who are all from a different part of the work. As I sit and watch I thought of how all the connections were being made and the merges of network from all over the world. I realize how internationally diverst Washington DC is which is the number one reason I moved here in the first place.

Social Ca

I find the reading very informative. I did not know that social networking has such a mathematical history. For example the nodes of connection is sqare in addition to the many laws laid out by early networking pioneer. The titled for difference individual in a network is different, some of the description I read I can identify with people in my network. For example, "boundery spanners" one of my best friend would fit into the description seamlessly because she attend a different college and I have met many different people through her.
