Cascade and Sensors

Caption

On Left is a cascade of the "viral" spread of hashtag #openwebawards. On Right is how sensors are chosen: using a set of randomly selected users (C) some followers are framed in the sensor-friends group (S). These occupy a more central position in the web and, therefore, find out about information and spread it before others.
