TrustFlow II: Who is closest to your friends list?

Comments

[mskala.livejournal.com]

If someone is closely connected to me, and to my friends, but is not on my friends list, then that may be someone I know pretty well, but have had a falling-out with and deliberately not included on my list. This system seems inclined to give such people low numbers (more trust?), and that would be a bad thing if it were used as a basis for automatic decisions about whom I want to trust. It's a measurement of connection but not such a good measurement of trust, because trust is sometimes quite strongly non-transitive.

There are very few people I explicitly distrust, but Elsie seems to be encountering this effect (http://elsibeth.livejournal.com/164410.html).

Do the numbers mean anything really significant? Most people's posted results seem to start at about 500, but there are about 50 people in my result in the below-500 categories. I'm part of several closely-knit groups (near-cliques in the graph sense); maybe that has an effect.

The numbers mean roughly this: at most 500 people can score below 500. In practice many fewer will. Since you and all of your friends list have lower score than the first person listed, if your friends list is longer than the first score you see will be higher.
