Understanding the Influence of Social Hubs in Diffusion Processes Driven by Incentivized Friend Invitation

With the prevalence of social media, rewarding users to invite their friends to use an application or adopt a service has become one of the most successful designs in recent years. As the application or service spreads, a diffusion process driven by incentivized invitation forms. However, despite the extensive attention from both industry and academia, this newly-emerging diffusion process remains under-explored. To bridge this gap between academic research and industrial practice, we set out to examine the influence of social hubs, i.e., people with a considerable number of social ties, in the diffusion process driven by incentivized friend invitation. Through a large-scale empirical data analysis, we found that under three different measures, the influence of social hubs on the growth of the diffusion process is saturated as their number of contacts increases. Following this observation, we further explored possible causes of this phenomenon by a mixed method that combines a large-scale empirical data analysis and a semi-structured interview to deepen our understanding of social hubs’ influence in the diffusion process. We revealed two main causes. First, large social hubs lacked the will to keep engaging in sending invitations, and the anchoring effects on the cost-utility trade-off could explain their behaviors. Second, social hubs’ broadcasting capability decreased in the invitation-based diffusion process because hubs are better at informing rather than persuading compared with non-hubs. Our findings provide in-depth insights into the understanding of the nature of social hubs’ influence, and we further discuss practical implications for designs to facilitate invitation-based online diffusion processes.

BG: A scalable benchmark for interactive social networking actions

BG is a benchmark that rates a data store for processing interactive social networking actions such as view a member profile and extend a friend invitation to a member. It elevates the amount of stale, inconsistent, and erroneous (termed unpredictable) data produced by a data store to a first class metric, quantifying it as a part of the benchmarking phase. It summarizes the performance of a data store in one metric, Social Action Rating (SoAR). SoAR is defined as the highest throughput provided by a data store while satisfying a pre-specified service level agreement, SLA.To rate the fastest data stores, BG scales both vertically and horizontally, generating a higher number of requests per second as a function of additional CPU cores and nodes. This is realized using a shared-nothing architecture in combination with two multi-node execution paradigms named Integrated DataBase (IDB) and Disjoint DataBase (D2B). An evaluation of these paradigms shows the following tradeoffs. While the D2B scales superlinearly as a function of nodes, it may not evaluate data stores that employ client-side caching objectively. IDB provides two alternative execution paradigms, Retain and Delegate, that might be more appropriate. However, they fail to scale as effectively as D2B. We show elements of these two paradigms can be combined to realize a hybrid framework that scales almost as effectively as D2B while exercising the capabilities of certain classes of data stores as objectively as IDB.

VoteTrust: Leveraging Friend Invitation Graph to Defend against Social Network Sybils

Online social networks (OSNs) suffer from the creation of fake accounts that introduce fake product reviews, malware and spam. Existing defenses focus on using the social graph structure to isolate fakes. However, our work shows that Sybils could befriend a large number of real users, invalidating the assumption behind social-graph-based detection. In this paper, we present VoteTrust, a scalable defense system that further leverages user-level activities. VoteTrust models the friend invitation interactions among users as a directed, signed graph, and uses two key mechanisms to detect Sybils over the graph: a voting-based Sybil detection to find Sybils that users vote to reject, and a Sybil community detection to find other colluding Sybils around identified Sybils. Through evaluating on Renren social network, we show that VoteTrust is able to prevent Sybils from generating many unsolicited friend requests. We also deploy VoteTrust in Renen, and our real experience demonstrates that VoteTrust can detect large-scale collusion among Sybils.
