社交媒体中的社交浏览和信息过滤
Social Browsing & Information Filtering in Social Media
摘要：
社交网络是许多社交媒体网站的一个显著特征，这些网站是允许用户创建和共享内容的新一代网站。Digg、Flickr和Del.icio.us等网站允许用户将其他人指定为“朋友”或“联系人”，并提供单击界面来跟踪朋友的活动。这些社交网络是如何使用的？不像纯粹的社交网站（例如，LinkedIn和Facebook），允许用户阐明他们的在线专业和个人关系，社交媒体网站并不是，在大多数情况下，旨在帮助用户创建或培养在线关系。相反，我们认为社交媒体用户创建社交网络来表达他们的品味和兴趣，并使用它们来过滤大量的新提交内容，以找到有趣的内容。事实上，社交网络促进了与信息互动的新方式：我们称之为社交浏览。通过对Digg和Flickr数据的广泛分析，我们发现社交浏览是这些社交媒体网站的主要使用方式之一。这一发现对社交媒体网站如何评价和个性化内容有影响。
英文摘要：
Social networks are a prominent feature of many social media sites, a new generation of Web sites that allow users to create and share content. Sites such as Digg, Flickr, and Del.icio.us allow users to designate others as "friends" or "contacts" and provide a single-click interface to track friends' activity. How are these social networks used? Unlike pure social networking sites (e.g., LinkedIn and Facebook), which allow users to articulate their online professional and personal relationships, social media sites are not, for the most part, aimed at helping users create or foster online relationships. Instead, we claim that social media users create social networks to express their tastes and interests, and use them to filter the vast stream of new submissions to find interesting content. Social networks, in fact, facilitate new ways of interacting with information: what we call social browsing. Through an extensive analysis of data from Digg and Flickr, we show that social browsing is one of the primary usage modalities on these social media sites. This finding has implications for how social media sites rate and personalize content.
