RE: Creating a Network Narrative

Hi,

I'm always glad to see more people involved in making social network analysis more approachable to people who are interested in the content and potentials rather than in abstract scientific debate. I am convinced that understanding networks can help pleople in many different situations and this is why I sometimes get frustrated when people write about it in such abstract terms. Good job for making it easy and understandable!

With regards to the specifics of Net-Map, let me add one thing: On top of looking at different kinds of links between actors (formal and informal) we also look at the power/influence they have and the goals that they follow. Both helps to get a more comprehensive picture of the situation...

Cheers

Eva
