The Hundredth Monkey Phenomenon

An cool video tracking obesity and social networks over time. Surprise surprise, there is a tendency for obese people to be linked socially to obese people, and for non-obese people to be linked socially to non-obese people. The study takes place over a 30 year people.

Thanks to David Weinberger for bringing it to the blogosphere (and thus my feed aggregator…which, now that I mention it, I really don’t like that much: can anyone recommend one for Windows that doesn’t suck? I used to use and love akregator on Linux…).
