Billionaires of the world ranked and charted [Distraction?]

Billionaires of the world ranked and charted by Nathan Yau.

Nathan reviews an interactive tool by Bloomberg that plots the wealth of the richest people in the world, compares them to each other and charts how their net worth changes.

Question: Would charting Taylor Swift’s relationships would be more or less useful?

Or like tracking the world’s richest, is it just a distraction?

Who are you more likely to encounter?

  • One of the world’s richest people, or
  • Tayor Swift, or
  • A local judge, prosecutor, elected official or bank officer?

Social graphs of which one is most relevant for you?

Don’t be distracted by “infotainment” than has no relevance for your daily life.

What if you had a social graph of those with the most impact on your life? And other people had similar graphs with that they know about some of the same people.

If enough small social graphs are put together, the authors of those graphs, not the infotainment industry or elected officials, are empowered.

Question: Who do you want to start tracking with a social graph?
