Online Social Networks: Measurement, Analysis, and Applications to Distributed Information Systems

---

Recently, online social networking sites have exploded in popularity. Numerous sites
are dedicated to finding and maintaining contacts and to locating and sharing different
types of content. Online social networks represent a new kind of information network
that differs significantly from existing networks like the Web. For example, in the
Web, hyperlinks between content form a graph that is used to organize, navigate, and
rank information. The properties of the Web graph have been studied extensively,
and have lead to useful algorithms such as PageRank. In contrast, few links exist
between content in online social networks and instead, the links exist between content
and users, and between users themselves. However, little is known in the research
community about the properties of online social network graphs at scale, the factors
that shape their structure, or the ways they can be leveraged in information systems.
