Analyzing Networks // Wolfram Alpha Takes on Facebook
Wolfram Alpha, a cool tool for learning anything about everything, just added integration with Facebook so you can analyze your network. As someone who is fascinated by the people who surround me, I tested it out and it was definitely both fun and interesting.
Some of my favorite findings worth sharing here (though I question the complete accuracy):
Most common friends’ names:
Sarah (23) | Rachel (22) | Michael (19) | David (18) | Jason (18)
Relationship statuses:
Single (24.5%) | Married (29.5%) | Engaged (9%) | In a Relationship (34%)
Gender breakdown:
Female (58.3%) | Male (41.7%)
Most commented on status:
The one after I was hit by a truck last summer (37 comments)
Word frequencies for wall posts:
friends (96) | know (79) | new (70) | fun (69) | please (69) |
people (66) | good (63) | really (62) | day (61) | awesome (58)
And my visualization of my network, which I think I might adopt as a personal branding tool / logo for all things connector. (What do you think?)
Posts to keep you entertained, thinking, sharing, and discussing. I blog across subject areas because there's a lot of interesting stuff out there; why limit our conversation?
