Rich, I'm editing a book with Ben Shneiderman and Marc Smith on using NodeXL to study social media networks. While the emphasis is on social media networks (we have chapters on Facebook, Twitter, Wikis, Email networks, etc.), the tutorial section includes a few datasets that are not social media such as the US 2007 Senate co-voting network and the network of co-appearances of characters in Victor Hugo's book Les Miserables. Let me know if any of those are useful and I can send them your way. Derek Hansen Maryland's iSchool On Sun, Feb 14, 2010 at 3:02 PM, Matteo Cantamesse <matteo.cantamesse@gmail.com> wrote:
Hello,
I ask the students to indicate who of their classmates they spend time with (outside class) and who of them is their friend on facebook.
So you have two different networks, sometimes overlapping.
It's plain, but they usually like to confront their online and offline lifes.

Hello all,
I am looking for some simple exercises that can illustrate social network analysis. I am thinking more of the "real life" versions of social networks that probabaly also bleed over into the virtual ones.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks,
Rich Ling
