What Trends in Chinese Social Media?
13:33:20 Tuesday Aug 16 2011Golly, this is interes.
Original research from HP Labs by Louis Yu, Sitaram Asur, Bernardo A. Huberman. Published online (full pdf) 14 July 2011. Presented at the 5th SNA-KDD Workshop’11 (SNA-KDD’11), August 21, 2011, San Diego CA USA.
Here’s the abstract:
There has been a tremendous rise in the growth of online social networks all over the world in recent times. While some networks like Twitter and Facebook have been well documented, the popular Chinese microblogging social network Sina Weibo has not been studied. In this work, we examine the key topics that trend on Sina Weibo and contrast them with our observations on Twitter. We find that there is a vast difference in the content shared in China, when compared to a global social network such as Twitter. In China, the trends are created almost entirely due to retweets of media content such as jokes, images and videos, whereas on Twitter, the trends tend to have more to do with current global events and news stories.
