On Social Network Transitions

http://weblog.cenriqueortiz.com/ socialsoftware/ 200...

I thought this was well expressed by Fred Stutzman on his piece Social Network Transitions: “To generalize, let’s consider two types of social networks: ego-centric and object-centric. An ego-centric social network places the individual as the core of the network experience (Orkut, Facebook, LinkedIn, Friendster) while the object-centric network places a non-ego element at the center of the network. Examples of object-centric networks include Flickr (social object: photograph), Dopplr (social object: travel instance), del.icio.us (social object: hyperlink) and Digg (social object: news item).
