With the help of Socilab.com, I have seen where I belong in the tangled web of cyber space in the LinkedIn network. It would be really interesting to see how this web would evolve if I were to add my Facebook network.
As you can see from the diagram, my network consists of two large clusters – one for my dental hygiene connections and the other for my hospital connections. Some of my contacts in the dental hygiene industry are connected to those in my hospital connections through conferences, through my work with the community health centres and through interprofessional education activities. The contacts who are not in the clusters are those who I have known growing up and are not involved in the dental hygiene industry or in the hospital setting.
