At IMC, it has been presented the first study to examine multiple online social networks at scale. The paper analyzes “data gathered from four popular online social networks: Flickr, YouTube, LiveJournal, and Orkut”.

Findings

* “the indegree of user nodes tends to match the outdegree;
* the networks contain a densely connected core of high-degree nodes;
* this core links small groups of strongly clustered, low-degree nodes at the fringes of the network”.
