62 our initial crawl. We found only 11,468 new nodes that were not in the connected component of 1.8 million nodes discovered in the original crawl. Of these new nodes, 5,142 (44.8%) were nodes with no forward links, 3,370 (29.3%) had one link, 620 (5.4%) had two or three links, and 2,336 (20.3%) had four or more links. Thus, the nodes missing from our crawls tend to have low degree and are connected only to small clusters that are not reachable from the large connected component we crawled. Thus, we believe that our crawl of the large WCC, although not complete, covers a large fraction of the users who are part of the WCC. Further, our experience with the randomly generated Flickr user identifiers indicates that (at least for Flickr), the nodes not in the largest WCC do not form large subgraphs. 4.2.2 LiveJournal LiveJournal (www.livejournal.com) is a popular blogging site whose users form a social network. The LiveJournal data set considered in this thesis is the largest we examine: it contains over 5.2 million users and 72 million links. Due to its size, the LiveJournal crawl took several days, from December 9-11, 2006. LiveJournal offers an API that allows us to query for both forward and reverse links. We followed both link types to crawl the entire large WCC. We also obtained group membership information via LiveJournal’s API.2 To estimate the fraction of the LiveJournal network covered by our crawl, we 2We inferred groups in LiveJournal by crawling the interests specified by users.
