Effects of missing data in social networks (2003, background): “This approach has not been feasible for large networks until recently, when data on large-scale social interactions become readily available from the records of email communication or virtual communities (Ebel et al., 2002; Guimera et al., 2002; Holme et al., 2002; Newman et al., 2002).”

Impact of human activity patterns on the dynamics of information diffusion. (2007, neutral): “An important question is whether the observed demographic stochasticity in the number of recommendations is directly related to the heterogeneity of social contacts [21].”
Extremal Properties of Random Structures (2003, neutral): “idemic propagation on scale free networks found that the threshold for an epidemic is zero, implying that a ﬁnite fraction of the graph becomes infected for arbitrarily low transmission probabilities [11, 39, 34].

Why social networks are different from other types of networks. (2003, background): “We give four examples: the widely studied network of ﬁlm-actor collaborations [5, 7], collaboration networks of mathematicians [25, 26] and company directors [27], and an email network [28].”
