Social Animals

Jon Udell pointed to Malcolm Gladwell's "Six Degrees of Lois Weisberg" article in The New Yorker. I finally got around to reading it over the weekend. It reminded me of Thomas Stewart's article "America's Secret Weapon" in the December 2001 issue of Business 2.0, and in particular the map showing the social relationships of the 9/11/2001 hijackers.

I find it interesting how the Internet changes social dynamics. Someone may be a Connector in cyberspace, but a dud in meatspace. How long is your Buddy List?
