As a part of my final year university project I am designing a social networking website targeted mainly to older users. I was wondering what accessibility and usability issues should be taken into account when creating a website for such users, apart from obvious ones - such as bigger font, compatibility with current standards, straight...
I want to find out all the existing decentralized algorithms that exploit the structural properties of social networks. So far I know the following algorithms - 1) Best connected search - Adamic et al 2) Random Walk (does not exploit any structural property but still it is decentralized) 3) Hamming distance search 4) Weak/Strong tie...
I am looking for an API (preferably in python) that could be used to analyze complex networks. Basically I want to find things like: Average shortest path, Degree distribution Giant Component local clustering coefficient, global clustering coefficient etc.. Thanks ...
I'm designing a News Feed system using PHP/MySQL similar to facebook's. I have asked a similar question before but now I've changed the design and I'm looking for feedback. Example News: User_A commented on User_B's new album. "Hey man nice pictures!" User_B added a new Photo to [his/her] profile. [show photo thu...
hi, I've written a simple tool that lets users keep track of some stuff (to make it simple, lets say they're entering their weight every day). Throughout the site, I want to add links to social sites, where user could share that info. Example: after user successfully adds a new record, I'd like to show him links that when clicked woul...
I am looking for complex networks which have power law degree distribution whose exponent is greater 3 or close to 3. I have found a few 1) Citation Network 2) Electronic circuit I am more interested in social networks or p2p networks. Kindly provide the source of your information. ...
Hi All, Very new to Social Network Analysis and R (read a few introductions online, created a few graphs on my own) but I am very eager to learn different ways to apply it. That said, what are common significance tests applied to networks, and more specifically, if two network graphs are "statistically different?" Any help/tutorials y...
I have an idea of a social network website and I will be working on it alone on my free time. My goals are : get introduced to web development to improve my skills (programming languages, frameworks, scalable architectures, ...) for my personal pleasure and to improve my CV transform the project into a startup if I realize it can be s...
I am developing a facebook type application for my institute. and I am stuck at the friends module. i.e. How to know if the particular users are one's friends. I googled a lot but didn't get any satisfactory answers. What I got is : there will be many friends of a person and implementing users and their friends in seperate table will ...
Hi all, I created a network graph from data on flows between US states. For each vertex, I have the lat/long of the state. I am hoping to recreate a network kind of graph that shows the edges, except that I set the location of each vertex to be their geographic position and have a state boundary map in the background. I am using to ...
One of the great features of StackOverflow is that you can ask a question or answer a question without signing up, then claim your activity later. It's perfect because you engage people right away without any barriers to entry. Are there any Social Networking frameworks out there in any language with any data backend (relational or non...
