Abstract

In this paper, we study certain geometric and topological properties of online social networks using the concept of density and geometric vector spaces. "Moi Krug" ("My Circle"), a Russian social network that promotes the principle of the "six degrees of separation" and is positioning itself as a vehicle for professionals and recruiters seeking each others' services, is used as a test vehicle.
