“homophily”

An article in the NYTimes last week, about the phenomenal growth of Facebook,
had @ least two bits that I thught relevant to our discussions:

  • “homophily” — the tendency of individuals to associate only with like-minded people of similar age and ethnicity.
  • “This is a technology that has inherently generated community, and it has gotten to the point where members of that community feel not only vested but empowered to challenge the company.”

    “homophily” — the tendency of individuals to associate only with like-minded people of similar age and ethnicity.
