The Top 50 Gawker Media Passwords - Digits. Sets in the City. While Network Theory has been all the rage in discussions of social media, it provides an imperfect model to describe the reality of social networks.

The main shortcoming is that the connections between entities are more complex than simple “ties” – and they include a notion of time. I propose that the mathematical concept of Sets is another model that alongside Network Theory provides a more comprehensive view of networks. Consider this: each of us belongs to countless sets. I, for one, belong to the set of middle-aged men, set of bald men, persons that live in the Hudson Valley, bald persons that live in the Hudson Valley, etc.

You can see how this can just keep going, right? There are some patterns here, however.

The World’s Facebook Relationships Visualized [PIC] Click the image for the full-sized version.

This is what the world looks like, according to the Facebook social graph. Facebook intern Paul Butler was interested in the locations of friendships, so he decided to create a visualization of Facebook connections around the globe. How local are our friends? Where are the highest concentration of friendships? How do political and geological boundaries affect them? Butler started by using a sample of 10 million friend pairs, correlated them with their current cities and then mapped that data using the longitude and latitude of each city. That was the easy part. "I began exploring it in R, an open-source statistics environment. With a few more tweaks, he eventually came up with the amazing visualization you see here. What do you think of the visualization?

Energize it by Olivier Bassil. Breakfast Strata. A strata is a make ahead egg dish that works well for brunch; a wonderful breakfast idea for Thanksgiving or Christmas morning, when you don’t want to be in the kitchen all morning, but want to enjoy something savory and yummy.

It’s also an easy way to use up those remaining pieces of day-old bread, and simply tastes amazing. Experiment with other mix-ins using vegetables, meats, or different cheeses that you happen to have on hand. Enjoy! Breakfast Strata 1 Tbsp canola oil ½ ea onion, diced 1 ea small red bell pepper, diced 1 ea tomato, diced 4 eggs ½ cup heavy cream 1 cup milk ½ tsp ground thyme 1 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped 1 ¼ tsp salt ½ tsp black pepper 7 slices French bread, cubed (3/4 inch) 6 ea sliced bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled 2 cups cheese (choose one or a mixture. The night before: Heat canola oil in pan and saute onion and red bell pepper over medium high heat for about 3 minutes, cooking until onion is translucent.

Penny Arcade, a well known humorous webcomic strip, decided to vilify the Phantom console on suspicion of Vaporware.

For months the front page was filled with Tycho’s diatribes about the multitude of ways an all downloadable content console could go wrong. Turns out, he was right. The only thing useful that came from the project was a lapboard which still hasn’t seen mainstream adaptation. So why am I writing about how consoles are changing the face of downloadable content? The new business model in gaming seems to be to build a substantial base and add to it. Personally, I feel this gives the user a lot more control over their system and what they can do with it. The Fable II Business Model Fable II was the sequel to one of two RPG’s that put Xbox on the map, the other being Knights of the Old Republic.

Posterous Introduces "The Last Email List You'll Ever Need" Today, Posterous, the site we previously referred to as a "minimalist blogging platform", has again expanded its functionality in its own, minimalist fashion.

This time, rather than adding rich editing features or increasing social interaction the service has gone and reinvented one of the Internet's "wheels" - the email list. We spoke with Posterous co-founder and CEO Sachin Agarwal yesterday and he told us that the new feature is an "email list on steroids" and that it's "the last email list you'll ever need. " "The worst part about Yahoo Groups," Agarwal started off telling us, "is how hard it is to create one of these groups. " In moving beyond its origins as a "minimalist blogging platform", you see, Posterous is working to become a minimalist, email-based group-blogging platform that makes everything about communicating with multiple people by email as simple as possible.

Creating one of these group email lists, or group blogs, is as simple as sending an email to Posterous. Holiday Wine Pairings - Me Gusta. Photo : yfrog.com/h2b5cyj - Shared by Josepf. Huge Flipboard update integrates Flickr, Google Reader, Facebook Groups and more. Flipboard, chronicled first by our Zee, is one of, if not the, best apps on the iPad.

Hyperbole? Hardly. Flipboard was recently named iPad app of the year by Apple, featured at the very top of Apple’s “Apps for iPad” page. Now, after September updates, the announcement of a partnership with Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit issue, and the company’s potential foray on to a web browser, Flipboard has just launched massive updates to its iPad app. Here’s your first look at what’s been updated, bearing in mind they are so grand that you may lose conciousness, so please sit down. To begin, Flipboard now allows users to view items posted to Flickr, and posts imported from one’s Google Reader. Users can zoom in on shared items, starred items and folders from Google Reader or view one’s favorite photos, groups, photostreams and more, in Flickr. When angels dance.
