Watched most of your videos in your Channel on networks and Gephi. Thank you so much. It's been a while since I've done any graph theory - three decades, actually. Still, although they are correct as definitions, I find the definitions for bridge and hub confusing. Hub makes sense as defined for a node. But to define a bridge in terms of a node sense bizarre; it seems more apt to describe an edge (or a relation between to immediately directly connected nodes, albeit not in the sense of "directedness" where a directed arrow is used). I understand that this is merely a definition, and every discourse has its own definitions. But do you have a sense for why the term bridge is defined as a characteristic of a node rather than an edge?

I think the intuition is that the node bridges two communities. Basically, if you're creating a path, the path must go through that node. Of course, you're right - it totally makes sense if you say "you have to cross this edge" instead of "go through this node", but I think traditional network analysis is really interested in unique node properties. A node that sits between two groups is interesting, so I think that's why it gets the bridge name.
