I was pleased to get an email last week from Barry Wellman, one of the founding researchers in social network analysis. He sent a note to his private distribution list (which subsequently when to all of the INSNA SOCNET list) commending Bruce Hoppe’s blog, Connectedness.

Barry said,

Two consulting friends have pointed me to this blog focusing on a very business-application uses of networks as a metaphor and analytic tool. It leaves a lot out, but does provide some interesting links and insights into what one chunk of the consulting world thinks of as network analysis.

Of course, I pretty much ceded the SNA territory to Bruce a while back, as he covers just about everything. More than once I’ve gone to blog on a topic and discovered that Bruce covered it weeks before. I’m happy to give good work its due.
