I don’t know if anyone ever thought to develop data or a systems map for Usenet, but pre-1994 NNTP network statistics is the closest analogy I could imagine to what we have now.
But we would need a methodology to map the open social web considering each person to be their own node, and drawing out the progress of their connections to other nodes in that rolling window.
