The whole field of statistical network analysis has been exploding in the last ten-ish years, with the work of Duncan Watts, Joe Kleinberg, MEJ Newman and others. It's a very interesting field to be in right now.
Though for us computer scientists the sad part is that we have all those nice networks, but when it comes to network analysis we're getting our collective asses handed to us on a silver platter by the theoretical physicists -- they know the maths, we don't.
