17 The value of the Social Network Social Network has its own unique value in facilitating human communication A concern about a network losing its value –while we are unsure about how to quantify the true value…

20 Fighters Club A Coalition game ~ like Warcraft Team members who are Facebook friends receive higher fighting powers ~1400 new friendships established daily ~10% of users with >95% friendships purely based on this game.

21 Open Issues What is the value of this social network? How would this value be distributed and allocated to each individual peers? MySpace, Facebook, LinkedIn didnt define the game for network formation and value allocation. –But, it is important to design the game such that the OSN will eventually converge to a state to best support the communities.

22 Friendship requested

23 Friendship requested BTW, this guy stole 24 millions dollars from me during my DSL demo to George Kesides!

24 Research Issues How to systematically leverage the Social Network? How to architect the Social Network itself such that its value can be protected? And, plus a few typical CS concerns –Decentralization, Scalability, Privacy/Trust…

56 DSL is an old idea! We, as human, have been using similar social communication principles. Maybe it is a good opportunity to re-think about our cyber communication system. Identity is a per-application, context- oriented, and sometime relative issue. Forming cyber communities of interests for application. AB AB F F F And, I certainly dont have the answer yet…
