In particular, progress in this area can lead to new insights on how one might best select a group of early adopters to maximize coverage of a social network. Both mrjeets and cuecon204 discuss a recent paper by researchers at IBM which study information diffusion through Blogspace. The model presented in this paper is actually derived from a diffusion model proposed in part by Professor Kleinberg in 2003.
