Popular press continues to discuss research of my graduate students on Social BotNets. The most recent article (by Eagle Gamma) appeared in Infoworld in early April. Unlike earlier coverage, it discusses more recent work (Design and Analysis of a Social Botnet), in which an economic analysis of Social Botnet feasability and challenges for throttling them is discussed.
I loved a comment left by one of the readers: “If your bot friends are nicer and more interesting than those so-called friends you found in high school, well ….”
