In this video Wander Jager explains that information is spreading differently through social networks than a virus. Moreover, hubs may be followed by many people, but they don’t follow back, indicating that links are “directed”. Additionally, norms play a role in networks, and also norms operate differently on a network than the spreading of a virus.
