中文简介:
社交媒体中的定向链接可以代表从亲密的友谊到共同的兴趣,甚至是对突发新闻或名人八卦的热情。这种有向链接决定了信息的流动,从而表明用户对他人的影响 - 这一概念在社会学和病毒式营销中至关重要。在本文中,使用从Twitter收集的大量数据,我们对三种影响度量进行了深入比较:indegree,转推和提及。基于这些衡量标准,我们调查了用户对主题和时间影响的动态。我们做了几个有趣的观察。首先,具有高度低度的流行用户在产生转发或提及方面不一定具有影响力。其次,最有影响力的用户可以对各种主题产生重大影响。第三,影响不是自发地或偶然地获得,而是通过协同努力,例如限制推文到单一主题。我们相信这些研究结果为病毒式营销提供了新的见解,并且表明仅仅是一般性的拓扑措施对用户的影响几乎没有显示出来。
课程简介: Directed links in social media could represent anything from intimate friendships to common interests, or even a passion for breaking news or celebrity gossip. Such directed links determine the flow of information and hence indicate a user's influence on others — a concept that is crucial in sociology and viral marketing. In this paper, using a large amount of data collected from Twitter, we present an in-depth comparison of three measures of influence: indegree, retweets, and mentions. Based on these measures, we investigate the dynamics of user influence across topics and time. We make several interesting observations. First, popular users who have high indegree are not necessarily influential in terms of spawning retweets or mentions. Second, most influential users can hold significant influence over a variety of topics. Third, influence is not gained spontaneously or accidentally, but through concerted effort such as limiting tweets to a single topic. We believe that these findings provide new insights for viral marketing and suggest that topological measures such as indegree alone reveals very little about the influence of a user.
