Twitter: Social Network Or News Medium?Serge Beckers
Â
This document analyzes Twitter as a social network and news media by studying its topological characteristics and information diffusion. The authors:
1) Crawled over 41 million user profiles, 1.47 billion social connections, and 106 million tweets to analyze Twitter's structure and behavior.
2) Found that Twitter has a non-power law distribution of followers, short paths of separation between users, and low reciprocity - distinguishing it from other social networks.
3) Ranked users by followers, PageRank and retweets, finding influence inferred from followers differs from popularity of tweets.
4) Analyzed trending topics and found most are news headlines that persist for days with participation from many users.
