| Sep 22, 2012 at 4:27 | comment | added | rm -rf♦ | @MarkMcClure Oh, in that sense, yes (cliques, is that what they're called in graph theory?). What I really meant was that this isn't terribly illuminating for the purposes of the question, because every site in the network will have those same connections. | |
| Sep 22, 2012 at 2:25 | comment | added | Mark McClure | @R.M I don't see a problem with the links that you describe as not genuine. On the contrary, the symmetric linkage that is displayed is simply a genuine property of the network; it is exactly this type of property that allows us to distinguish the network from, say, a social network or a network of some other type. | |

| Sep 21, 2012 at 22:13 | comment | added | George Wolfe | @VitaliyKaurov - This is kind of approach I was thinking of but didn't really know how to do. I hesitate to accept this wonderful answer only because it seems people want to continue the thread. Me too! Also, I'm interested in the connections within MMa SE. | |

| Sep 21, 2012 at 21:25 | comment | added | Mark McClure | Writing a webcrawler can be a bit tricky. I've got a webpage (facstaff.unca.edu/mcmcclur/class/Seminar/Pagerank/nutch) that describes how to run a crawl using the open source webcrawler Nutch and then import the result. Might be able to deal with R.M.'s concern that way. | |
| Sep 21, 2012 at 20:25 | comment | added | Vitaliy Kaurov | @R.M You are right, high chance that the symmetry in the MSE graph could be due to the footer - other sites look like this too. I just wanted to put the idea out - if someone could post a better filtered code, or add an edit to mine - I'd be totally fine with it. | |
| Sep 21, 2012 at 20:13 | comment | added | rm -rf♦ | Hmm... I'd be a bit hesitant to follow down this path, because most of those linkages you see might not be genuine. For instance, every graduated site is linked to from every other graduated site's footer, so all of those will have to be filtered out somehow. | |
