Facebook has more than two billion users, and each one of these users has their own webpage. So we know the web is large. But imagine a web where every message more or less agrees with each other, while users on that web actively connect with each other. This inevitably creates a strongly connected component as we learned in INFO 2040. The global friendship network, as we also learned earlier in the semester, is unlikely to be made up of two giant components, because just one friendship can bridge the gap between the two groups. However, with the Great America app or similar ones as described in the NYT article, users can now form a huge connected network without having to interact with different minded individuals.
