facebook_friends: Maier Facebook friends (2014)
A small anonymized Facebook ego network, from April 2014. Nodes are Facebook profiles, and an edge exists if the two profiles are "friends" on Facebook. Metadata gives the social context for the relationship between ego and alter.
This network has 362 nodes and 1988 edges.

My own little experiment for you to try:
Open Facebook. (You won’t hear me say that often!)
Scroll. You don’t have to read anything. Just scroll.
Every once in a while, click on an ad — but not the top ad. Make it the second in the list on the side, or one far down your feed. You can open it in a background tab and then close the tab. Tell the model it didn’t •quite• get you right — but you’re engaged, it just needs to drift a little further from who it thinks you are.
Wait for the ads to update. Repeat. And repeat. Watch the model degrade.
To this day, Facebook thinks I’m a gun owner who wants testosterone supplements.

Facebook will per Redesign einfacher bedienbar werden, einschließlich Navigation und Beitragserstellung. Auch der algorithmische Feed soll verbessert werden.
