TrustFlow II: Who is closest to your friends list?

Basically it means that.. they aren't on your friends list, but of your friends the top people are friended 1 level deep of a high percentage of your friends... thinning out to the bottom.

I mean I recognize rosefox and deedeebythebay in there.. just proving it's a small world or something. There's a good explanation if you follow the "abouts" to a LJ post one or two back..

the number after their names is 'how close they are/could be to you' - and i have no idea what the numbers actually measure, but larger numbers are 'farther away'

what's interesting is, when i did it, i had people who were (100-150) 'away' from me, going up to about 800 - you start at 800. So, the people who could/should be closest to you are already on your friends list...

Oh wow, this time he actually did describe his algorithm in a way that makes sense. Unlike what he did with those friends cluster maps, where he danced all around the algorithm without ever clearly stating what it did.

Basically, "trust" flows from you to all of your friends, evenly divided among all of them. Each friend has the same total capacity, so eventually they all fill up with "trust" and start overflowing to their friends - but at different rates, because they evenly divide too.

So if you have two friends, and one of them has 10 friends while the other has five, the friends of the first one will each get trust half as quickly as the friends of the second. But, there may be some people who are friends of both, and they'll get trust at a rate equal to 3x the other people in friend1's list, which is 1.5x the other people on friend2's list. Each friend of friend has the same total capacity as the people on your friends list, so eventually they fill up too, and start flowing trust to their friends.

Whenever someone not directly on your friends list fills up with trust, they get placed on your list. Their score is how much trust had flowed into the whole system at the time they filled up. People are listed in order of when they filled up.

I'd summarize it by saying, the sooner someone appears on this list, the "more" people in your network list them as friends, where "more" gives higher weight to people with fewer friends.

I did it and found a bunch of folks I thought were on my friends list but weren't. I have since, of course, rectified the situation.
