eigenvector – A person who is popular with the popular kids has high eigenvector centrality. Google’s page rank is an example
•
betweenness – People who connect people who are otherwise separate. If information goes through community structure – Nodes are you, you have a high joined together in tightly knit betweenness score. groups, between which there are
