The fountain of Knowledge for network Analysis

Mr. Barabásis's  

Book "Linked: The New Science of Networks " is the piece of work which put me onto the power of networks. Trying to diseminate a pattern in the lives we live is impossilbe but by looking at how networks evolve and develop it is possible to make some small bit of sense of it all. Been looking around all week at the weath of network modelling tools available and their is hundreds. They create some amazing patterns! I have been doing a bit of reading on social captial and how it strengthens social networks.My real goal is to find a way of modelling social capital and the strength of a network to create a "social network " KPI suite.

Need to tease this idea out a bit more, but I need to find the business value in SNA.

The quest continues.....
