Interactionist Sociology
• Central tenet– Focus on the active effort of
accomplishing interaction• Phenomena of interest
– Presentation of self – Claims to membership– Juggling multiple (conflicting) roles– Frontstage/Backstage – Strategic interaction– Managing one’s own and others’ “face”
• Methods– Ethnography and participant observation
– (Goffman, 1959; Hall, 1990)

• Central tenet – Social structure emerges from – the aggregate of relationships (ties) – among members of a population
• Phenomena of interest– Emergence of cliques and clusters – from patterns of relationships– Centrality (core), periphery (isolates), – betweenness
• Methods– Surveys, interviews, observations,
log file analysis, computational analysis of matrices

SNA 101• Node
– “actor” on which relationships act; 1-mode versus 2-mode networks• Edge
– Relationship connecting nodes; can be directional• Cohesive Sub-Group
– Well-connected group; clique; cluster• Key Metrics
– Centrality (group or individual measure)• Number of direct connections that individuals have with others in the group (usually look at
incoming connections only)• Measure at the individual node or group level
– Cohesion (group measure)• Ease with which a network can connect• Aggregate measure of shortest path between each node pair at network level reflects
average distance– Density (group measure)
• Robustness of the network• Number of connections that exist in the group out of 100% possible
– Betweenness (individual measure)• # shortest paths between each node pair that a node is on• Measure at the individual node level
• Node roles– Peripheral – below average centrality– Central connector – above average centrality– Broker – above average betweenness

From Page Rank to People Rank• People Rank is critical component of an effective community strategy.
• Communities are composed of a relatively small set of roles. • Technology to identify these roles is critical for selecting high quality
content in a vast and diverse sea of material. • Social Accounting Metadata is the raw material of social sorting, a people
rank that brings high quality content to the surface of an online community. • Reputations and profile are central to the effective management of a
community.

WIFE/MOTHER/WORKER/SPYDoes This Pencil Skirt Have an App?http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/24/fashion/24spy.html
“…a new iPhone app called Lose It! Which sounds like a diet, if you ask me. For weeks he’d been keeping a food diary on his phone — all the calories he ate, and all the calories he burned — and it was constantly generating cool little charts and graphs to let him know whether he was meeting his goals.“I’ve lost 12 pounds,” he said.“Get it for me,” I hissed. “Now.”
Lose It! has its own database listing the calories in a few thousand different foods. And if a food was not listed? I could always find it in another iPhone app, the LiveStrong calorie counter, which lists 450,000 foods.

Quantified Self: people self-administer medical monitoring
Additional sensors will collect medical data to improve our health and safety, as early adopters in the "Quantified Self" movement make clear.

Novartis chip to help ensure bitter pills are swallowedBy Andrew Jack in LondonPublished: September 21 2009 23:06 | Last updated: September 21 2009 23:06
technology that inserts a tiny microchip into each pill swallowed and sends a reminder to patients by text message if they fail to follow their doctors’ prescriptions.
the system – which broadcasts from the “chip in the pill” to a receiver on the shoulder – on 20 patients using Diovan, a drug to lower blood pressure, had boosted “compliance” with prescriptions from 30 per cent to 80 per cent after six months.

Result: lives that are more publicly displayed than ever before.
• Add potential improvements in audio and facial recognition and a new world of continuous observation and publication emerges.
• Some benefits, like those displayed by the Google Flu tracking system, illustrate the potential for insight from aggregated sensor data.
• More exploitative applications are also likely.

Bits exist along a gradient from private to public.
• But in practice they only move in one direction.

Patterns of connection may uniquely identify
De-anonymizing Social Networks Arvind Narayanan & Vitaly Shmatikovhttp://33bits.org/2009/03/19/de-anonymizing-social-networks/
Abstract:Operators of online social networks are increasingly sharing potentially sensitive information about users and their relationships with advertisers, application developers, and data-mining researchers. Privacy is typically protected by anonymization, i.e., removing names, addresses, etc.We present a framework for analyzing privacy and anonymity in social networks and develop a new re-identification algorithm targeting anonymized social-network graphs. To demonstrate its effectiveness on real-world networks, we show that a third of the users who can be verified to have accounts on both Twitter, a popular microblogging service, and Flickr, an online photo-sharing site, can be re-identified in the anonymous Twitter graph with only a 12% error rate. Our de-anonymization algorithm is based purely on the network topology, does not require creation of a large number of dummy “sybil” nodes, is robust to noise and all existing defenses, and works even when the overlap between the target network and the adversary’s auxiliary information is small.

Cryptography weakens over timeEventually, private bits, even when encrypted, become public because the march of computing power makes their encryption increasingly trivial to break.

No one expects privacy to be perfect in the physical world.

Unintended cascades
• Taking a photo or updating a status message can now set off a series of unpredictable events.
