Reality is clearly a mix of those two. This book’s authors made a first step in this direction by proposing an evolutionary game theory (EGT)–based overlay topology evolution scheme to drive a given overlay into the small-world structure [26]. Due to the dynamic nature of social interactions, an online social network always keeps participants and information content evolving. Several works experimentally investigate the users’ interaction evolution with time in OSNs. For example, in Flickr, only a very small fraction of users are active, and active users appear to form a core in the interaction graph that is responsible for the vast majority of social interactions [27].
