#mytweet via Instagram: Exploring User Behaviour across Multiple Social Networks

摘要

We study how users of multiple online social networks (OSNs) employ and shareinformation by studying a common user pool that use six OSNs - Flickr, Google+,Instagram, Tumblr, Twitter, and YouTube. We analyze the temporal and topicalsignature of users' sharing behaviour, showing how they exhibit distinctbehaviorial patterns on different networks. We also examine cross-sharing(i.e., the act of user broadcasting their activity to multiple OSNsnear-simultaneously), a previously-unstudied behaviour and demonstrate howcertain OSNs play the roles of originating source and destination sinks.
