A Research on Famous-User Network of SINA-Weibo

Abstract

Analysis over online social network, especially those for network structure analysis, have significant meanings for works including network models' building-up and researches over the transmissional traits. Aiming towards the user relation network oriented from the Famous-User of SINAWeibo, this paper studies many facets including the degree distribution, small-world phenomenon and degree correlation utilizing the complex network analysis algorithms, with experimental results showing for this network the existence of deviations from power-law at the degree distribution level, the effective diameter being short, the nodes' degrees being irrelevant, with the non-hierarchical intrinsic nature proved.
