1. Tastes, ties, and time: A new social network dataset using Facebook.com Lewis, K., Kaufman, J., Gonzalez, M., Wimmer, A. & Christakis, N. Tastes, ties, and time: A new social network dataset using facebook.com. Social Networks In Press, Accepted Manuscript (2008). URL http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.socnet.2008.07.002
11. A Familiar Face(book): Profile Elements as Signals in an Online Social Network (Lampe et al., 2007)
12. State of the art Past research has tended to draw upon only a very small portion of the wealth of data available on Facebook. Most focused only on profile data, ignoring network ties between users: no study made use of data on user tastes
18. Three measures of relationships Network size (degree centrality) histograms for Facebook friends, picture friends, and housing groupmates. Note : students with no photo albums (zero outgoing ties) are omitted from outgoing picture friend histogram.
19. Dataset All explanatory variables are inferred or directly drawn from students' Facebook profiles (e.g. Sex, Home Town, …) Race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status (SES) retrieved with more elaborate procedures (photo albums, socioeconomic national data, ..)

21. Methodology Network properties as size, density and betweenness centrality calculated using UCINET Network ethno-racial diversity calculated using IQV (index of qualitative variation). It measures the heterogeneity of ego’s network independent of the race/ethnicity of ego
22. Methods Used OLS regression (multivariables regression) to see how gender, race/ethnicity, SES, and online activity are associated with our network variables of interest
23. Culture Compiled three spreadsheets of data (on for each kind of taste) with the data retrieved from students' Facebook profile linking the student to their cultural preferences Calculated the proportion of taste overlap for every possible dyads

25. Note : p -values determined by MRQAP. All coefficients reported in percentages (%).
