Hey this is fantastic. I am working on a similar idea(I actually got it from Valdis Krebs) and I have made a few clusters and it is good. I have a couple of questions, if you have a moment to answer:

1. How many books do you choose from the "Customers Also Bought List"
2. Are you doing this all by hand, or are you doing any automation.

Anyhow, great job and I appreciate any insight you may have to offer.

Nice idea. In my country, Italy, SNA is a topic of articles, online discussions anc academic courses.

Not yet a tool/approach used by organization to find out more about how they work, decide etc.

I have created COMPLEXLAB to help the growing of culture and usage of SNA in Italy and I have created a refrence to your AJAX books analisys.

Well done.

Ciao
Carlo

Valdis,

thanks for the comment. I remember coming across your paper when I was researching social network analysis for use in the knowledge management system of a large financial services company.

really neat analysis idea - is there anyway of extending it in a qualitative fashion 0 ie to discriminate between a contentless repeater of buzzwords and a genuine innovator - ie some kind of weighting of the links as opposed to a straight count of the links?

could you republish the list giving their status re hub, authority or joint status?
