Assignment Blog Post on Lifestyle, Mobility and Location.

This Blog Post is in response to the Assignment #3 which can be found here or here . The Livehoods Project: Utilizing Social Media to Understand the Dynamics of a City 1. What patterns are used by the authors to define a livehood cluster? Authors define Livehood clusters based on “… the spatial proximity between venues as given by their geographic coordinates, as well as the social proximity” derived “… from the distribution of people that check-in to them.” The authors use Foursquare check-ins by users in the targeted area to analyse and define Livehood clusters. The authors used only the Foursquare check-ins that were publicly disclosed by users on Twitter to collect the data, use Cluster mapping to define Clusters of user behavior which determined the borders of Livehoods within city municipal borders. For each check-in, authors documented the user ID, the time, the latitude and longitude, the name of the venue, and the category of the place. The

Find below the answers for the questions asked in the Assignment.1 : Link to the assignment is here . PAPER ONE: Tie strength in question answer on social network sites How do the authors define strong and weak ties, and how did they measure the strength of a tie in Social Network Sites? Strong ties and weak ties are usually connections that an individual have with people around them, online/offline. The tie strength represents the depth of friendship between individuals. Whether they are close friends or acquaintances. Measurement of tie strength was based on the following variables (which were derived from the study by Gilbert and Karahalios): - Days since last communication - Days since first communication - Words exchanged - Mean tie strength of mutual friends - Positive emotion words - Intimacy words What could be the reasons that more helpful answers come from weak ties? What could be the reasons that more helpful answers come from strong ties? Weak Ties: - Different Soc

Assignment 5 - Data Analysis Reading

DATA ANALYSIS READING ASSIGNMENT The paper studied for the following responses could be found here and here . § What were the assumptions of the model and the data analysis the authors used? Assumptions of the model were that the social network adoption spread very similarly to the way diseases spread amongst a finite population. They also assumed that there would be a gradual disuse of social networks as users and their peers begin to lose interest. Hence, it reflected the gradual reduction in number of members, much similar to the cured number of people in epidemiological progression. Authors also assume that web traffic is the general metric to measure the data of social network usage. § Find three arguments that could call the authors’ conclusions into question. Three arguments I believe that bring the authors’ conclusions into question are: 1) Users shall gradually get disinterested in a social networking platform. – This assumption implies that the inter
