NETWORK STATUS

Data for March 14, 2006.

Social Network Snapshot

This image shows Credence users (small boxes) and correlations between users (lines connecting boxes). The color of each box represent the number of times the users has rated a file. There are 921 users shown in all, of which 493 are connected together in the center of the image. Most of the remaining 428 outlying users (at right) have voted very few times. A few of these outliers have voted more often, but on very obscure or unpopular files. In both cases, the result is very few correlations for these users. The diameter of the central connected component is 5, meaning that any pair of users is connected by a chain of at most 5 links. Other images show other data organized in various formats:
  • Average Vote - This image is similar to the above, but colored according to the average of each users votes. This clearly shows the difference in users that consistently vote in one direction, versus users that have a mix of both positive and negative votes.
  • Number of correlations - Similar again, but colored by the the number of correlations each user has computed (i.e. degree of each node).
  • Correlation Strength - This image has each link colored by the strength of the correlation.
  • Files in Common - Shows each link colored by the number of files voted on in common between the each pair of users.

File Popularity

This graph shows the distribution of file popularity, as measured by the number of Credence users having voted on the file. A total of 39761 votes were cast in all, on 35690 unique files. This list of files is ranked according to popularity, and arranged along the horizontal axis. The height of each point then shows how many votes were cast for that particular file.
