Abstract

One paragraph only. Over the past few years, the rapid growth and the exponential use of social digital media has led to an increase in popularity of social networks and the emergence of social computing. In general, social networks are structures made of social entities (e.g., individuals) that are linked by some specific types of interdependency such as friendship. Most users of social media (e.g., Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace, Twitter, Flickr, YouTube) have many linkages in terms of friends, connections, and/or followers. Among all these linkages, some of them are more important than others. This paper discusses related work on social networks and method use in crawling online social network graph.
