Abstract

Nowadays, microblog has emerged as the most promising social networking service in the Web2.0 age with diverse features for information dissemination, interpersonal communication and many other aspects. Chinese microblog shows great potential owing to the rich marketing source and powerful media influence brought by the huge user population. As the microblog community is largely influenced by some authoritative users, identifying these users and understanding the information dissemination pattern are theoretically and practically significant for us to promote user services, develop further applications and seek commerce opportunities. In this paper, we proposed a modified method for user authority ranking. A user-message graph modified according to Chinese microblog was applied to our study, and an algorithm based on ObjectRank was used to calculate ueser authority scores. We analyzed Sina microblog, as it was the most widely adopted Chinese microblog and more resources for research was accessible.
