Power Laws in social networks

I was surfing Slashdot this evening and came across a link in a comment to a very cool article about Power Laws. In essence, social networks have a tendency to follow power laws instead of the bell curves we’re used to. This means that the top few blogs, or newsgroups, or anything else where there are many options and freedom to choose will end up getting the vast majority of the traffic. Interesting.
