- Abstract
- Recent advances in web technologies have brought a boom in online social services. Online social services encompass a broad spectrum of how to cater to varying web users’ interests, social content sharing being one of them. Studies show that users of social content sharing services tend to focus on the items themselves, rather than communicating with others at all. Unlike social networking services, which generally exhibit a healthy degree of user interaction, user interaction within social content sharing services shows much variation, from nonexistent to very active. Consumption time of target content has also shown to be an important factor in determining the various features of content sharing services. In this paper, we analyze social cataloging services and compare them to the YouTube network in [1], to figure out the characteristics of networks which contain content that requires a considerable amount of time to fully digest, such as films or books. We find that our dataset shows a higher level of homophily, reciprocity, and a lower level of assortativity than those of the YouTube network. Furthermore, we study features that affect users’ selection of new items. Our results show that interest similarity matter, the genre of books in particular.
