Getting Wet

Mathematically a weblog community can be represented as a graph were the nodes are the weblogs themselves and the edges are some measure of how well the blogs are connected (for example by counting links). A little boring perhaps. It gets more interesting, as any textbook on networks does, to draw the analogy of graphs with a system of pipes that carry liquid.

Is this analogy useful in the context of weblog communities? Perhaps it is. Imagine that weblogs are connected by a system of pipes to other weblogs where the size of a pipe is proportional to the number of links. Imagine that someone pours some water into her weblog. The weblog community is now defined to be the bloggers who get wet and wetness is an indication of participating in the community.

All theoretically correct, not sure whether it is socially acceptable to try it in practice.
