"The authors propose that a tradeoff between network diversity and communications bandwidth regulates the degree to which social networks deliver non-redundant information to actors in brokerage positions. As the structural diversity of a network increases, the bandwidth of the communication channels in that network decrease, creating countervailing effects on the receipt of novel information. This tradeoff occurs because more diverse networks, presumed to provide more information novelty, typically contain weaker ties across which less novel information flows due to limited interaction. Information advantages to brokerage positions then depend on (a) whether the information overlap among alters is small enough to justify bridging structural holes, (b) whether the size of the topic space known to alters is large enough to consistently provide novelty, and (c) whether the knowledge stock of alters refreshes enough over time to justify updating what was previously known. The authors test these arguments by combining social network and performance data with direct observation of the information content flowing through email at a medium sized executive recruiting firm. They find that brokers with bridging ties to disparate parts of a social network can have disadvantaged access to novel information because their lower bandwidth communication curbs the total volume of novelty they receive. These analyses unpack the mechanisms that enable information advantages in networks and serve as ‘proof-of-concept’ for using email content data to analyze relationships among information flows, networks and social capital. *** Note: Previously titled "Network Structure & Information Advantage"
La lecture de la semaine, il s'agit - ça faisait longtemps -, de l'éditorial de Clive Thompson dans le magazine américain Wired. Il lance quelques pistes de réflexion pas inintéressantes au sujet une question souvent posée sur les réseaux : comment nous arrive l'information ? Le titre de son papier Buddy System, "le système pote".

Article de Vincent Berthelot, en fait une interrogation sur le rôle des réseaux sociaux dans l'entreprise et en quoi ils changent la relation entre les organisations syndicales et l'entreprise. A lire. Extrait. *** "C’est dans ce contexte que l’on « re »-découvre que l’engagement des salariés peut être une source de performance et de productivité voire devenir L’avantage concurrentiel. *** Mais cette recherche d’une nouvelle martingale nécessite de s’interroger sur les clefs de l’engagement des salariés et des indicateurs de son niveau. A l’inverse on peut aussi chercher à connaître les sources de démotivation et d’insatisfaction. C’est sur ce créneau que se lance Yammer dans un partenariat avec Kanjoya, société spécialisée dans l’analyse des sentiments en ligne pour ne faire ni plus ni moins que du diagnostic social en temps réel. *** Un réseau social d’entreprise adossé à de tels outils apporte un complément à l’analyse du climat social en se basant sur l’expression directe des salariés qui s’expriment par ce biais et non pas sur les remontés des différents acteurs au contact et en particulier des managers et des représentants syndicaux.

The concepts of ‘self-tracking’ and the ‘quantified self’ have recently begun to emerge in discussions of how best to optimise one’s life. These concepts refer to the practice of gathering data abo... *** "Yet from a sociological perspective a number of interesting questions about the quest to achieve ‘self-knowledge through numbers’ arise, including the following: What types of people are attracted to self-tracking? How do they use the data they produce? How are concepts of the body, self, social relationships, health and happiness both configured and negotiated via these data? How do members of their social networks respond to the sharing of data produced through this self-surveillance? How do self-trackers’ doctors or therapists make use of the data they produce? What the implications of shared data derived from self-tracking for patient empowerment? How does the digital device construct reality for its user, how it is incorporated into the routines of everyday life, how does it shape social encounters, how does it present users to others and to themselves? There is much more here to investigate in relation to the attempt to achieve ‘self-knowledge through numbers’."

Cette deuxième histoire dans la série “Les identités physiques et numériques – #ET8” est plus une tentative de décrire un contexte – celui d’évolution et d’innovation dans les métiers du tourisme et dans le comportement des cibles – qu’une vraie histoire. Mais elle me semble nécessaire pour décrire le contexte de ce qui suivra. *** Autrefois, dans un passé pas si lointain… quand un touriste ou un prospect appelait l’Office de Tourisme, les deux interlocuteurs pouvaient se former une image mentale du contexte : le touriste, chez lui, à sa table de cuisine ou sur le sofa, en train de préparer son voyage. L’agent d’accueil (brrrr) à l’Office de Tourisme derrière le comptoir, avec toute une panoplie de brochures et son site web affiché sur l’écran, pour une recherche instantanée dans sa base de données, pour répondre aux questions du prospect.

Gossip is not a trivial pastime: it is essential to human social, psychological and even physical well-being. *** Etude de Kate Fox (2001) sur le thème du bavardage. Intéressant. A lire. Extrait. *** "The subject of gossip is increasingly attracting the attention of researchers in social psychology, anthropology, evolutionary psychology, sociolinguistics and social history. Even philosophers are being drawn in to the debate. Although the word 'gossip' was originally a positive or at least neutral term (deriving from 'God-sibb' – a person related to one in God, a close friend or companion), it has more recently acquired some pejorative connotations. Yet most of the research highlights the positive social and psychological functions of gossip: facilitating relationship-building, group bonding, clarification of social position and status, reinforcing shared values, conflict resolution and so on. One moral philosopher goes so far as to claim that gossip, by enhancing our knowledge and understanding of human nature, qualifies as a 'saintly virtue'."

Damienlanfrey.net - Personal PHD website and best resource for Technology, Networks and Society... *** "This paper traces how communities have changed from densely-knit “Little Boxes” to “Glocalized” networks (sparsely-knit but with clusters, linking households both locally and globally) to “Networked Individualism” (sparsely-knit, linking individuals with little regard to space)."

Science understanding of Web-based sociabilities has progressed enormously in the last decade: this should inform public policies touching on the Web, its regulation and governance. *** "This is where we start seeing the outline of the society that is taking shape since the advent of online communication: neither a fuzzy nebula of isolated monads, nor meganetwork of weakly tied individuals – but a linkage of dense strongly-tied subcomponents (boxes) interweaved by long weakly-tied bridges. As online communication enables bridging on a higher level, it creates a “glocal” network, that can be described as an assemblage of small, loosely independent components – our little boxes."
