Cameron on Powerlaws at MIT

Posted by Clay Shirky

As if on cue for the debate Joi has started, Cameron Marlow of blogdex is teaching a month-long class at the Media Lab on powerlaws. Week 3 of 5 reads:

Class 3: Social networks The third session will be devoted to a discussion of the implications of scaling in social networks covering issues of equality, politics, information diffusion and engineering for social systems.

Will bug Cameron for a post of the lecture afterwards.
