Release 1.0

This year marks 21 years since I started developing social network analysis software.

The first version I developed ran on a upgraded original Macintosh with an external 20MB hard drive and 512KB [not MB!] of RAM -- I still have the original machine, and dozens of floppies with various versions of the original code. When IBM came calling, "InFlow" [short for information flow] was ported from the Macintosh to Windows 3.1 and OS/2.

In 1996 [some of you were still in high school], I was fortunate to be invited to write about my early social network analysis experiences in Esther Dyson's prestigious high tech newsletter, Release 1.0. Here are my early experiences with social network analysis in large organizations.

Enjoy!
