Measuring Message Propagation and Social Influence on Twitter.com
نویسندگان
چکیده
Although extensive studies have been conducted on online social networks (OSNs), it is not clear how to characterize information propagation and social influence, two types of important but not well defined social behavior. This paper presents a measurement study of 58M messages collected from 700K users on Twitter.com, a popular social medium. We analyze the propagation patterns of general messages and show how breaking news (Michael Jackson’s death) spread through Twitter. Furthermore, we evaluate different social influences by examining their stabilities, assessments, and correlations. This paper addresses the complications as well as challenges we encounter when measuring message propagation and social influence on OSNs. We believe that our results here provide valuable insights for future OSN research.

Influence Maximization with Novelty Decay in Social Networks
Influence maximization problem is to find a set of seed nodes in a social network such that their influence spread is maximized under certain propagation models. A few algorithms have been proposed for solving this problem. However, they have not considered the impact of novelty decay on influence propagation, i.e., repeated exposures will have diminishing influence on users. In this paper, we ...

متن کاملA Social Influence Model Based On Circuit Theory
Understanding the behaviors of information propagation is essential for the effective exploitation of social influence in social networks. However, few existing influence models are tractable and efficient for describing the information propagation process, especially when dealing with the difficulty of incorporating the effects of combined influences from multiple nodes. To this end, in this p...
متن کاملTheoretical perspectives on the use of social media in the propagation of health messages
Influence on social media can be conceptualised as both extensive (relating to quantitative spread) and intensive (qualitative impact). Both of these are important considerations in understanding the dissemination of health messages. We outline several theoretical approaches that offer fruitful ideas for future studies including agenda-setting theory, social norms theory, social representations...
