It's a simple inductive concept: You are you and see the world as such, You plus 1 degree of separation is a new you. All this stuff about scale-free Internets, viruses, sex, and money is silly. Scale-free statistically indistinguishable models really means Internet-Scale as rediscovered by social networks people. > Research has shown that the network of human sexual partners > seems to be scale-free, too I tend to prefer the Harvard Business Review to the Economist as they tend to spend less time writing about who's sleeping with whom and come up with real statistical models.
