How to Lose Friends &amp; Alienate People (film): How to Lose Friends & Alienate People is a 2008 British comedy film based upon Toby Young's 2001 memoir of the same name.  The film follows a similar storyline, about his five-year struggle to make it in the United States after employment at "Sharps Magazine".

Wannabes (online game): Wannabes is an online interactive soap and game created for the BBC by Illumna Digital.

Depending on the choices made, the viewer/player will win or lose friends points from the different characters, unlocking extra content such as videos, emails and photos.

Evolving networks: Evolving Networks are networks that change as a function of time.  They are a natural extension of network science since almost all real world networks evolve over time, either by adding or removing nodes or links over time.  Often all of these processes occur simultaneously, such as in social networks where people make and lose friends over time, thereby creating and destroying edges, and some people become part of new social networks or leave their networks, changing the nodes in the network.  Evolving network concepts build on established network theory and are now being introduced into studying networks in many diverse fields.
