What's Kooking? Characterizing India's Emerging Social Network, Koo
摘要：
社交媒体在短时间内呈指数级增长，成为通信和在线互动的最前沿。尽管增长迅速，但社交媒体平台一直无法扩展到全球不同的语言，许多人仍然无法访问。在本文中，我们将Koo描述为Twitter的印度替代品，Koo是一个多语言微博网站，于2021年流行起来。我们收集了407万用户的数据集，1.6312亿关注者关系，以及他们在12种语言中的内容和活动。我们沿着语言、位置、性别和职业来研究用户人口统计。印度语言在Koo话语中的突出存在表明该平台在促进区域语言方面取得了成功。我们观察到Koo的追随者网络比Twitter的密集得多，由紧密联系的语言社区组成。对Koo上的帖子进行的N-gram分析显示了#KooVsTwitter的修辞，揭示了比较两个平台的辩论。我们的特征突出了多语言社交网络的动态及其多样化的印度用户群。
英文摘要：
Social media has grown exponentially in a short period, coming to the forefront of communications and online interactions. Despite their rapid growth, social media platforms have been unable to scale to different languages globally and remain inaccessible to many. In this paper, we characterize Koo, a multilingual micro-blogging site that rose in popularity in 2021, as an Indian alternative to Twitter. We collected a dataset of 4.07 million users, 163.12 million follower-following relationships, and their content and activity across 12 languages. We study the user demographic along the lines of language, location, gender, and profession. The prominent presence of Indian languages in the discourse on Koo indicates the platform's success in promoting regional languages. We observe Koo's follower-following network to be much denser than Twitter's, comprising of closely-knit linguistic communities. An N-gram analysis of posts on Koo shows a #KooVsTwitter rhetoric, revealing the debate comparing the two platforms. Our characterization highlights the dynamics of the multilingual social network and its diverse Indian user base.
