Paper
The Strength of Weak Ties
Authors
Mark S. Granovetter
Year
1973
Field
Sociology / Social Networks
One-line idea
Our most casual acquaintances quietly power job leads, information flow and social change.
My take
Reads like the sociology prequel to LinkedIn; every time I bump into someone on the tram and later end up collaborating with them, I think, "Granovetter called it."
