> What does PageRank measure?
It measures the probability of reaching a node in a random walk scenario.
The underlying graph determines which "moves" are allowed in this game. In the case of personalized, the walk start from the source node(s).
It's a measure thatclt combines distance (because the walks have a dandling factor alpha < 1), as well as flux, which is the number of path that exists from the source node to the destination node.
It allow to surface and make it easy to understand the underlay data. If that is follows, then what does it surface? Who the hell knows, people follow others for many reasons, work connections, valuable content, and yes popularity. If we are talking about PP, then what you get depends on who you follow, simple as that.
