This week’s reading discusses the 80/20 rule, an example being that 80% of links on the web point to only 15% of webpages, thus creating hubs that dominate the inflow of the links. Searching ‘hub’ on the internet brought up an article regarding ‘The Hub and Spoke Model’ for communication. Here, Armano discusses taking the traditional hub and spoke model and turning into something that looks more like a network which I found interesting. That aside I did think back to when we were discussing hypertext and how it only links one way- which is a problem with hub and spoke. If hubs are created with 80% of links pointing to a smaller number of websites, what happens if these websites are taken down? The information doesn’t feed backwards through the link to notify the source that the link that it is no longer available.
