The Power of Social Networks

A mathematician explains how information flows through groups -- and how businesses can channel it

A GMJ Q&A with Jon Kleinberg, Ph.D., Cornell University mathematician and recipient of the Rolf Nevanlinna Prize
Post A Comment
Cornell mathematician Jon Kleinberg's research centers on the social and information networks that underpin the Web and other online media. In other words, Kleinberg can map the invisible world of information sprawl -- a heady notion in an information economy. Here, Kleinberg discusses how to control the spread of information, how to design viral marketing that works, why Web sites like MySpace are so successful, and even how to nip office gossip in the bud.
