Hmmm, I used the words “social graph” in this interview with Randi Zuckerberg, director of business development at Facebook.
Dave Winer, yesterday, said that anyone who uses that term sounds like a monkey.
She gave her definition of Social Graph at about 14:39. Everyone who is talking about this should listen to this part of the interview.
I disagree with Dave Winer. The Social Graph is NOT my social network.
My Social Network is my friends list.
But the Social Graph shows a LOT more than that.
For instance, did you know you can see everyone who is into skiing on Facebook?
Did you know you can see everyone who is into Daft Punk?
Those people are NOT in my social network. But they are part of the social graph that you can study on Facebook.
Interesting how we have disagreements about language.
So, what would you call what you can see in Facebook? It isn’t just my social network, though. Try again.
