[Air-L] Automated analysis of large social network

[Fred Stutzman]

There are quite a few papers about large-scale OSN analysis.  You might 
look at the work of Barabasi, Kleinberg, Kumar, Thelwall, Adamic and 
Huberman.  By now there are probably a number of reviews on this topic.  I 
wrote one as a first year but you don't want to read that.

Some papers include:

Similarity Measures: A Large-Scale Study in the Orkut Social Network.  In 
Proceedings of KDD 2005.
