Graph Theory and Social Network
It is no surprise to find that people are instinct to be social,although they always hold their own secrets and try to protect their own privacy.They are still born to share.In the old days,people go around and gossip,that's where the first idea of sharing idea come from.These kind of idea sharing also can categorize people into small groups,they usually have something in common,so it is more likely for them to focus on the same topic next time.
That's where the Douban comes up with the idea of building a website to recommend the music you like.They let you to tell them whether you like the music or not at first,and they try to category you into a certain group,then they can recommend the music you are very likely to appreciate.
Another way to show the connection between people is through the graph,it is clearer to see through the graph about our relationship and the closeness of 2 people even they don't know each other directly.

Hello, Cicy. Since our chinese names are pronounced in the same way, it's so nice to meet you. I just want to mention that your blog is very informative. Thank you for sharing it. Your opinions give me a better understanding of graph theory and social network. Thanks again.
回复删除I like this website Douban. This is a website we can find some people similar with we. And through this kind of relationship, we can get some recommendation from Douban. This is good example of recommendation system. I have a lots interests to have a research on this website. Thanks for your sharing.
回复删除Frankly, DouBan is a nice website for us to seek for the people who share the same interest. Using it as the examlpe to introduce the concept "social network" is very appropriate and easy understood.Thanks.
回复删除As you say, with the help of the website like Douban, we can get more audience when we share what we appreciate even do not need to step out. Making friends with guys thousands of miles away becomes possible.
回复删除Nice. I have the same feeling in your article. Sometimes we want to keep something in our minds, but we reveal them instinctively and insensibly through social network, such as our hobbies, habits, characters and so forth. Some social networks can analyse people’s behaviors and classify many related things in a group for people to know more about somethings they are interested in.
回复删除Douban looks a nice website to use but everything is in chinese. Hard for non-speaker to look into it. By the way, the different graphs that you provide in your blog article are looking very good. The protection of the social life is becoming more and more important in a world in which social media are growing super fast.
回复删除As an old word said,"you can know anyone in this world by 5 steps". People are connected by relationship in old days. Now social network by internet always make people connected. This maybe another kind of evolution of human society.

回复删除Cicy, thanks for your sharing. Your blog is very useful, and made me have a deep understanding of graph theory and social network. What's more, your pictures used in blog gave me insights on how to use pictures to express my ideas.
回复删除Douban is a good example to start the graphical analysis. It can show the relationship between different music and different people. It can also classify people in different groups by type of music.
