Comments on: Strong, Weak, & Temporary Ties http://bokardo.com/archives/strong-weak-temporary-ties/ Interface Design & UX by Joshua Porter Wed, 28 Sep 2011 20:28:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Adrian Chan http://bokardo.com/archives/strong-weak-temporary-ties/#comment-297052 Adrian Chan Thu, 15 Apr 2010 19:09:16 +0000 http://bokardo.com/?p=1685#comment-297052 Josh, Totally agree with you on temporary ties. I think we can even better understand the value of temporary ties if we shift from graph models to communication and interaction practices. That allows us to bring in communication and social interaction concepts, where the tie is subordinate to interaction and communication. Ties as byproduct of interaction, if you will. cheers, adrian Josh,

The 80/20 rule is evident in so many aspects of life - particularly relationships and connections. Still, it's great to read about these insights and think of how designers and developers can use the data to "change the game." In your opinion, do you think there will ever be a network that focuses primarily on building connections rather than simply making existing ones visible? Is that what Twitter is trying to do lately?
