Saving (probably) the best storify in the world thanks to the marvellous storify link extractor

Posted on January 5, 2018January 5, 2018

Ooh, this is good. Thanks to the genius of Alan Levine (aka @cogdog) there is now a really simple way to save stories from storify before they all go behind the another paywall.  Just follow these instructions – and save away.

Of my 5O storify stories, this has to be my favourite – betweenness centrality explained with a helpful zombie analogy.

@sheilmcn I know dangerously little about what I'm doing. May need to swap notes with @psychemedia re things like 'betweenness centrality'

Which prompted me to ask

Which led to this explanation

@mhawksey @sheilmcn one way of thinking about betweenness centrality is how you can use it and work backwards. So for example, nodes in a..

@mhawksey @sheilmcn ..network each have a betweenness centrality value; high values identify nodes that bridge different subnetworks; if a

@mhawksey @sheilmcn ..node with a high betweenness centrality is removed from a network, it may sever connections between subnets. If you

@mhawksey @sheilmcn ..want to cluster a netwrok into different subgrups, one way is to look for hight betweenness centrality nodes and use..

@mhawksey @sheilmcn ..them as cutting point. I guess i have reasonable betweenness centraility value between jisc and datajourn communities

— Tony Hirst (@psychemedia) August 29, 2011

@mhawksey @sheilmcn note that you can have nodes with a high betweennes centraility that have a low number of connections…

@sheilmcn @mhawksey if you have high betweenness centrality, you might fulfil role of broker between two communities;

@psychemedia @sheilmcn @mhawksey Which is why innovation tends to be spread by people who are peripheral in communities

And so it starts to make sense and if this has caught your attention the links below are useful starting points for more  information.

@sheilmcn @wilm @psychemedia off to read more about social metrics http://t.co/ZrYKFLa

@sheilmcn for reference here is the equation for betweenness centrality http://t.co/UogKwHO (you may need more than peppermint tea 😉

OK, that last one isn’t really much use to anyone:-)

A little while later, via another twitter conversation about Cloud Atlas, genetically modified fabricants and zombies (well it was a Bank Holiday Monday!) Wilbert came up with the perfect example of betweenness centrality.

@LornaMCampbell@sheilmcn Gen. modified zombies are peripheral in horror and scifi, but bridge both by their high betweenness centrality
