My network diagram


The other day I found in my mobile phone have over 250 contact numbers store in the phone book. I then realize that some of those contacts I have not been calling for over a year. This turns into a beginning of an idea of my social network:
To evaluate the people in my network in two directions, how close am I to these people in thoughts and opinions, and how far or how often we see others.

I rarely have a (serious/personal) conversation to my colleague who seat next to me, although his physical present are so close to me, but our thoughts is distinct and apart. Versus some friend I have outside Hong Kong, we don’t see each other often, but every time we meet, our thoughts are so close and we connect so quickly and I found that quite amazing.

In my network diagram there are all sorts of people, they are business parts, colleagues at work, friends of friends, and old school buddies. They are all distributed all over my diagram and base on the two directions I laid out earlier. I can group them into soul mates, close friends, random friends, co-workers, and strangers. This turns out into an interpreting finding to self.
