STDs Flow In Social Networks


Another Post by Uki Girl (see below for explanation of who the fuck is Uki Girl) -

Ok, so this article actually had a factual basis, which compared social network conections to the spread of STDs in some complex algorithm. However, I just love the title of the article. And also, I'd love to someday map out all of my Facebook connections. Like, print out everyone's profile picture, stick it on our wall and start connecting with different colored pieces of yarn. Like in the good old days of Facebook when they had that feature that showed all of your incestuous connections with everyone who friended you. But think of what it would look like! Just in my group of college friends, I know of at least one girl who would have like 18 pieces of yarn attached to her picture (ah, college, the age of being a slut and chalking it up to "experimentation"). You could have red yarn for hooking up, blue for hating each other, green for that one guy in the drunken frat that swears he made out with you but you still can't verify...in other words, one big multicolored trip down memory lane. Anyone down for a weekend project?
