At the end of 2010, we are at the effective end of the second phase of research in the field of Social Networks (SNs) and aspects such as Human-to-Human (H2H) interactions have pretty much had their day due to advances in Machine-to-Machine (M2M) interactions. This chapter will provide a useful insight into the differences between those two types of SNs: the human SNs (hSNs) based on H2H interactions and the machine SNs (mSNs) based on M2M interactions. During the last two decades rapid improvements in computing and communication technologies have enabled a proliferation of hSNs and we believe they will induce the formation of mSNs in the next decades. To this end, we will show how to carry out successful SN analyses (e.g. clustering and data diffusion) by connecting ethological approaches to social behaviour in animals (e.g. the study of firefly synchronization) and M2M interactions.
