The study of networks has depended on a visual thinking since the beginning Social Network Analysis

"If we ever get to the point of charting a whole city or a whole nation, we would have … a picture of a vast solar system of intangiblestructures, powerfully influencing conduct, as gravitation does in space. Such an invisible structure underlies society and has its influence in determining the conduct of society as a whole." J.L. Moreno, New York Times, April 13, 1933

The power of networks Network effect: wanna buy the first fax? Exponential spreading (6 degrees and get everyone!)  St. Paul → Christianity  Viruses (computer and human) and ideas  Sex networks → AIDS (who do you vaccine?)

St. Paul as a spreader for Christianity(from Linkedin by Barabasi)Many credit the triumph of Christianity to the message offered by the historical figure we know today as Jesus of Nazareth. Today, marketing experts would describe his message as “sticky”—it resonated and was passed down by generations while other religious movements fizzled and died. But credit for the success of Christianity in fact goes to an or- thodox and pious Jew who never met Jesus. While his Hebrew name was Saul, he is better known to us by his Roman name, Paul. Paul’s life mission was to curb Christianity. He traveled from community to community persecuting Christians because they put Jesus, condemned by the authorities as a blasphemer, on the same level as God. He used scourging, ban, and excommunication to uphold the traditions and to force the deviants to adhere to Jewish law. Nevertheless, according to historical accounts, this fierce persecutor of Christians underwent a sudden conversion in the year 34 and became the fiercest supporter of the new faith, making it possible for a small Jewish sect to become the dominant religion in the Western world for the next 2,000 years. How did Paul’s efforts succeed? He understood that for Christianity to spread beyond Judaism, the high barriers to becoming a Christian had to be abolished. Circumcision and the strict food laws had to be re- laxed. He took his message to the original disciples of Jesus in Jerusalem and received the mandate to continue evangelization without demand- ing circumcision. But Paul understood that this was not enough: The message had to spread. So he used his firsthand knowledge of the social network of the first century’s civilized world from Rome to Jerusalem to reach and con- vert as many people as he could. He walked nearly 10,000 miles in the next twelve years of his life. He did not wander randomly, however; he reached out to the biggest communities of his era , to the people and places in which the faith could germinate and spread most effectively. He was the first and by far the most effective salesperson of Christian- ity, using theology and social networks equally effectively. So should he, or Jesus, or the message be credited for Christianity’s success? Could it happen again?

Networks as a lens to understand Society

My granma network (born 1911!) Www.Rosangelamassa.com150 nodes from her small village(but now she got a website for her … in English ...)

Enter the WebNow networking can happen across space and time.  My granma has been networking (with 150 people)  Now possible with billions of people  And leaves an electronic trail on Social Networking Sites (so we can study it … and become aware of it … Social Network Analysis)

Direct contact possible but ...From 150 to 6.000.000.000?In theory yes,Illusion of 1-degree of separationBUT in reality Dunbar number = 150 = theoretical cognitive limit to the number of people with whom one can maintain stable social relationships.150?!? Maybe. Surely not possible to keep a relationship with 6.000.000.000!!!

Trust networksThe oldest club in Europe, an exclusive French society of dove breeders, used social networking tools since the late 17th century to connect its members via a handwritten newsletter, circulating from member to member, and being amended along the way.http://www.trustlet.org/wiki/Dovester_(was:_Ancient_Social_NetworksNow Linkedin!

Trust networks - Rely on other peoples opinionsPhilosopher John Locke. 1680. “An essay concerning human understanding”.Probability then, being to supply the defect of our knowledge and to guide us where that fails, is always conversant about propositions whereof we have no certainty, but only some inducements to receive them for true. The grounds of it are, in short, these two following: First, The conformity of anything with our own knowledge, observation, and experience. Secondly, The testimony of others, vouching their observation and experience. In the testimony of others is to be considered: 1. The number. 2. The integrity. 3. The skill of the witnesses. 4. The design of the author, where it is a testimony out of a book cited. 5. The consistency of the parts, and circumstances of the relation. 6. Contrary testimonies.
