Issues with Facebook's "graph search"?
by Nicholas John 21 Jul '13

21 Jul '13

Hi all, I've just been messing about a bit with Facebook's graph search. According to it, the music liked by people who like Obama is different from the music liked by people who like Romney. Who'd have thunk it? (Richard Rogers<http://www.govcom.org/publications/full_list/rogers_post-demographics_22Feb…>did this with Obama, McCain and MySpace using ElFriendo, so he at the very least already did.) But does anyone here actually know anything concrete about graph search and its reliability and validity as a measurer of taste? Does anyone know how Facebook is doing it? Is it sampling friends of Obama, or actually looking at all of them and then showing me what music they like? Obviously I'm not about to launch a huge research project based on results from Facebook's graph search, or even a small one for that matter, but perhaps we could think a bit about whether it might have any use for us as researchers at all, Nik ____________ Nicholas John<https://sites.google.com/site/smarthuji/people/faculty/dr-nicholas-john> Assistant Professor Department of Communication, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem Tel: +972-54-7906073 @nicholasajohn

Dear all, I am a research fellow at the London School of Economics. I am about to start a new research project on online communities and platforms. Among the research case studies, I would like to look at one major e-health platform providing a wide range of health services, such as patients forums, advice and counseling, Q&As, finding a specialist, doctor appointment booking, event scheduling, etc. Can anyone suggest a website or e-health portal that I should look at? Any ideas, references for research that has been done on the subject is welcome.
