Abstract
The last decade has witnessed a surge in research into social networks using trace data collected from the Web. While sociologists have been studying social networks for decades, the interest in researching social networks from other disciplines (e.g., other parts of the social sciences, applied physics, computer science) has arguably been triggered by the availability of data on social interactions in social network sites such as Facebook and information sharing environments such as newsgroups, blogs and micro-blogs (e.g., Twitter).
