The document explores the evolution of social media and network platforms, highlighting their significant milestones from the birth of the internet in the 1970s to the dominance of platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. It discusses key network properties, including the value and dynamics of heterogeneous networks, the concept of network effects, and various laws that assess the value of communication networks, such as Sarnoff’s, Metcalfe’s, and Reed’s laws. Additionally, it emphasizes how social media has transformed consumer behavior and interactions by enabling a collaborative environment and changing trust dynamics between individuals and institutions.

- 23. Network properties: 1. Whether the nodes are homogeneous or heterogeneous 2. Their type of clustering and degree of connections 3. Directionality of those connections 4. Whether they have (or are) complements Network Properties Networks are basically just a set of nodes connected by links Source: Benedict Evans slide deck
- 24. 1. Homogeneous or heterogeneous? Homogeneous: Composed of similar types of nodes Skype is an example of a homogeneous network where most of the value is derived from a single class of users, all interested in placing a phone call Heterogeneous: Composed of different types of nodes OpenTable is an example of a heterogeneous network with two distinct categories of participants: one side is restaurants, the other side is diners Source: Benedict Evans slide deck Network Properties
- 25. 2. Degree of connections and type of clustering Source Degree: Measures number of connections to a single node Clustering coefficient: Measures degree to which nodes in a graph (e.g., social graph, interest graph, intent graph, etc.) cluster together Type of cluster: Can range from hub-and-spoke (star) to connected (clique). Example of Facebook friends connections clustering (high school, college, significant other’s, etc. clusters) Source: Benedict Evans slide deck Network Properties
- 26. 3. Connections: Unidirectional or Bidirectional? Friends Facebook, for example, is one place where connections tend to be bidirectional Follower Twitter, for example, is one place where connections can more easily be unidirectional or one-way following, leads to asymmetrical connections Source: Benedict Evans slide deck Network Properties
- 27. 4. Complementary Networks Increase in usage of one product by a set of users reinforces and increases the value of a complementary (but separate!) product, which in turn, increases the value of the original More usage of the MS Windows operating system, results in more usage of the MS Office suite of applications Source: Benedict Evans slide deck Network Properties
