How does a micro-blog user spread a message?

1. Case study of Twitter Neural Network

Last week, I saw an article "Twitter (data) as a neural network" from playlist Sr. The author made a detailed analysis on the propagation path of a twitter message, A node chart, timeline, latency time chart, and followings number chart are provided. The following figure lists the message propagation processes:

• User;
• Forwarding time;
• User followings/followers number;
• Who will pass it;

.

The data mining work is very well done, and the author did not give a clear conclusion, but it is roughly known that:

• Although some core nodes can accelerate the speed and breadth of information dissemination, the number of RT Behaviors Caused by core nodes may not be proportional to the number of followers of core nodes;
• When the followers/followings values of the subsequent propagation users are greatly reduced, the propagation will soon end. That is to say, when the message is transmitted to the edge users of the circle, it will basically not continue to spread.

 

The author's mindmap aroused my interest:

It provides a concise and concise route for propagation. As the only application in the Chinese micro-blog world to track the implementation of cutting-edge games, playroom rt is able to master a large amount of real data on cutting-edge pushing behaviors and completely calculate similar images.

 

 

2. propagation roadmap of the news on the top of the Chinese news list

As we all know, the chinany Referer list is the most popular Referer, quotations, and jokes in the Chinese world of microblogs, each message on the list can be queried for all the corresponding Twitter or meal messages forwarded by the user. Then, extract the forwarding user name and the forwarding order from each forwarding request and merge the statistics to obtain the Overall Route Map for each listed message.

The following is an example of @ KESO as the core communication:

It can be seen that @ KESO's next two nodes @ rtmeme (also spread to five people) and @ secretaryzhang (also spread to four people) are another core node.

Sometimes, a message is transmitted by two or more channels. It may be that the original author's ID is hidden in the propagation, for example, the broadcast of this meal's refuge manual. It may also be that a piece of shocking news was independently initiated by Multiple sensitive people at the first time, such as the news about taking a helicopter to school:

Such hot news will naturally be spread by different users. When we have semantic computing capabilities, we canA messageAnd not just tracing.A personHow to spread published messages.

 

Iii. Javascript Mind Map Effect

This road map of propagation can be seen as a method of brain map (mind map.

It is drawn on a canvas by JavaScript. It not only has the dynamic and automatic drift effect, but also allows every node to be dragged freely.

This Javascript script is a masterpiece of kenth called "javascript mindmap". You can also call it "spidermap ".
