- The social graph is a term coined by scientists working in the social areas of graph theory to describe a sociogram which depicts all personal relations. It has been referred to as "the global mapping of everybody and how they're related". The term was popularized at the Facebook f8 conference on May 24, 2007, when it was used to explain that the Facebook Platform, which was introduced at the same time, would benefit from the social graph by taking advantage of the relationships between individuals, that Facebook provides, to offer a richer online experience. The definition has been expanded to refer to a social graph of all Internet users. A graph is an abstract concept used in discrete mathematics; the social graph describes the relationships between individuals online, as opposed to the concept of a social network, which describes relationships in the real world. The two concepts are very similar, but some minor differences do exist. For example, the social graph is digital, and more importantly, it is defined explicitly by all connections involved. Since explaining the concept of the social graph, Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, has often touted Facebook's goal of offering the website's social graph to other websites so that a user's relationships can be made aware and put to use on websites outside of Facebook's control. One of the earliest known forms of the social graph was created in 2002 by Harvard student Philippe Bouzaglou in a paper published on the Harvard Department of Economics website. The paper replicated the Kevin Bacon Game using Harvard students and for the first time, gave an overview of an entire social graph, allowing the analysis the characteristics of the network using graph theory. This paper was written for a seminar also attended by Dustin Moskovitz, later a Facebook co-founder.
- El grafo social es un término acuñado por Mark Zuckerberg, fundador de Facebook, que originalmente se refería a la red social de relaciones entre los usuarios del servicio de redes sociales proporcionados por Facebook. Este término se ha descrito como "el mapa global de todo el mundo y cómo están relacionados". El término fue acuñado en la conferencia Facebook f8 el 24 de mayo de 2007, cuando fue utilizado para explicar que la plataforma de Facebook, se beneficiaría del gráfico social, tomando ventaja de las relaciones entre los individuos que Facebook ofrece, para ofrecer una rica experiencia en línea. Ha sido la definición más amplia para referirse a un gráfico social de todos los usuarios de Internet. El gráfico social es un concepto abstracto que describe las relaciones entre las personas en línea, en contraposición a la idea de una red social, que describe las relaciones en el mundo real. Los dos conceptos son muy similares, pero existen algunas diferencias de menor importancia. Por ejemplo, el gráfico social es digital, y más importante aún, se define explícitamente por todas las conexiones en cuestión.
