number of friends an individual user of the internet community Myspace.com should have
based on certain attributes of that individual. Individual is defined as a person registered
with the community and “owning” a personal webpage in that community. Attributes are
defined as characteristics of that individual of which values can be obtained and assigned
by viewing that individual’s webpage. Friends are defined as individuals who have
consciously agreed to have relationship together in the community which allows the two
parties greater communication and availability between their webpages. The source of
data for this study was collected by ************ and is based solely on his 48 Myspace
“friends.”
