George Barnett, professor of communication and president of the International Network for Social Network Analysis, is quoted in the San Francisco Chronicle in an article on using social networking to find a new job. "Social networking is really about the relationships between people and organizations, and it affects everything from air traffic control to how illnesses spread to how many members of the Senate vote," he said. "It's not just about looking for a job -- it's the study of all social relationships and how they make a difference."
