[ExI] Metcalfe's Law is Wrong

[Jef Allbright]

A particularly lucid article on characterizing growth value of
networks.  In particular, it argues against the n^2 of Metcalfe's Law
(which fueled much of the overheated Internet hype of the late '90s )
in favor of n log(n) which, like Zipf's Law, better characterizes the
"long tail" distribution we see in networks of nodes of unequal
influence.
