Share Information

Sport industry groups including athletes, teams, and leagues use Twitter to share information about and promote their products. The purpose of this study was to explore how sporting event organizers and influential Twitter users spread information through the online social network. The study examined two bicycle race organizers using Twitter to promote their events. Using social network analysis, the study categorized Twitter messages posted by the race organizers, identified their Twitter followers and shared relationships within Twitter, and mapped the spread of information through these relationships. The results revealed that the race organizers used their Twitter home pages and informational and promotional messages to attract followers. Popular Twitter users followed the race organizers early, typically within the first 4 days of each homepage’s creation, and they helped spread information to their respective followers. Sporting event organizers can leverage Twitter and influential users to share information about and promote their events.

And Behavior

Expansion of online social networks is rapid and furious. Millions of users are appending to it and enriching the nature and behavior, and the information generated has various dimensional properties providing new opportunities and perspective for computation of network properties. The structure of social networks is comprised of nodes and edges whereas users are entities represented by node and relationships designated by edges. Processing of online social networks structural features yields fair knowledge which can be used in many of recommendation and prediction systems. This is referred to as social network analysis, and the features exploited usually are local and global both plays significant role in processing and computation. Local features include properties of nodes like degree of the node (in-degree, out-degree) while global feature process the path between nodes in the entire network. The chapter is an effort in the direction of online social network analysis that explores the basic methods that can be process and analyze the network with a suitable approach to yield knowledge.
