About this site
This site is a little project that lets me make fun of some things and sense of others. I use it to think a little more relationally without resorting to doing actual math.

Brilliant! Quite possibly the best explanation I’ve ever seen!
August 14th, 2008 at 12:19 pm
That is pretty awesome. Thanks for sharing.
August 14th, 2008 at 12:29 pm
Pure genius. I reach Web 2.0 and Social Web applications to librarians around the world. Barring your not wanting me to I’m definitely going to use this in my presentations. Proper credit will be given of course.
August 14th, 2008 at 2:34 pm
Yes. That’s it! You have such a great knack for hitting these things so perfectly.
August 14th, 2008 at 2:39 pm
now that simply explains what clout means….
August 14th, 2008 at 2:49 pm
very simple yet quite effective.
You have a knack for simplifying things that are difficult to express. Love indexed..
August 14th, 2008 at 3:41 pm
Do you also believe in the a tooth fairy?
August 14th, 2008 at 3:51 pm
Sorry, but I think the tooth fairy didn’t make it into 2.0. Look for an update in the next few months.
August 14th, 2008 at 3:58 pm
I’m clearly not smart enough for this site but I keep reading!
August 14th, 2008 at 4:32 pm
Good for you, Cheryl. One will click for you and these will become easier for you.
Additionally, I am intrigued by your perspective. This is the only “blog to check out” listed on my blog asojournofperusal.blogspot.com. And I email your blog address to all my intelligent, logic oriented, humor enthusiast, and mathematical friends. Read your new posts every day. Thanks!!

For the record, the more people you know doesn’t mean shit. Volume does NOT equal value. If anything, quite the opposite. The more you got means the more you’ve got to maintain and the less resources there are for any node on the system. The reason why social media is so poor is because so many have bought into the notion that high school vanity means opportunity. It doesn’t.

And so this is why I get Facebook App invites…

Jessica, what you’ve drawn, perhaps unknowingly, is a simplified version of what economists call “network effects” or “network externalities,” the concept of which was first brought up about 100 years ago. The curve has actually been shown to be exponential (more upward curving than what you have).
August 14th, 2008 at 7:01 pm
Love this. I’m actually blogging a response with a revised graphic based on your ingenious observation.
August 14th, 2008 at 7:36 pm
Thank you. This is true in every aspect.
August 14th, 2008 at 7:38 pm
Jessica, I agree with the overall principle, however, I would hesitate to suggest that there is a direct correlation between the number of contacts one has and the value of their network. Value is about more than quantity, it’s about aggregate quality.
Link to my response below, looking forward to your feedback - http://jburg.typepad.com/future/2008/08/do-correlations-define-web-20.html
August 14th, 2008 at 7:58 pm
oh i so love this blog…..
August 15th, 2008 at 2:21 am
I think this graph was true way before 2.0 or 1.0 or even the decimal system. We used to call it the Old Boy Network.
If 2.0 = Facebook, MySpace and their ilk, I totally disagree. These all seem very poor tools for getting anything done.
August 15th, 2008 at 2:55 am
Yeah, it’s not what you know, it’s who you know.
August 15th, 2008 at 7:51 am
And here is the dark side of social networking they usually hide from you: http://is.gd/1uOE

Jessica,
I’d like to use this Index card for a future post of mine regarding how Non-Profits use social networking tools. I’ll ping you back.

Maybe the Y axis should be labelled “Things you THINK you can do”.
August 16th, 2008 at 7:36 am
OMG that is awesome.
Ironically I discovered this via Twitter!!
August 16th, 2008 at 2:50 pm
Awesome. I discovered this via the delicious front page. Congratulations! (;

Luceat Lux Vestra Jessica
Is content King? You betcha.
You clever bricolager, you.
August 18th, 2008 at 1:21 pm
I think this should almost be on log paper
The ‘things you can do’ axis should increase wayyy faster than linear with ‘people you know’ 
August 19th, 2008 at 4:16 am
Does the vertical axis stop at the Dunbar Number?
August 28th, 2008 at 3:59 pm
Where’s the z axis: time you can spend on each new incompatible system demanding your attention, to wade through hundreds of inconsequential posts. We all know there’s more volume out there (whether it’s books or networking contacts or wiki comments); we also have known for years that librarians’ job is no longer increasing access, it’s filtering and navigating. Preferably not by adding an additional service to have to visit in the multiple stops we expect users to go through to get one item of information. I’m not pooh-poohing, just stating the challenge. :-{)} Okay, you got my 30 seconds. Bye.
August 28th, 2008 at 8:01 pm
Following Brad’s comment - a “things you do do” axis would be interesting.
September 5th, 2008 at 12:19 pm
You’ve captured it PERFECTLY. Thank you!

I agree with this, but would add a second a picture. The horizontal axis would “people you follow” and vertical axis would be “your free time”. The result would be line looking a bit like the stock markets now - straight down!

[...] up with Twines, I get to a blog called This Is Indexed, where I find this simple but yet effective definition of what web 2.0 means (to Jessica, the author, and many more). [...]
