소셜 네트워크 서비스의 하나인 트위터는 팔로우를 통하여 사용자 간의 관계를 맺을 수 있다. 트위터 사용자들은 다양한 팔로워들이 존재한다. 이 팔로워들은 사용자에 대한 호감을 가지고 팔로우 하거나, 맹목적으로 추종하거나, 부정적인 의견을 지니고 사용자의 행동과 글을 관찰하기 위해 팔로우할 수도 있다. 본 논문에서 사용자에게 팔로워들이 어떠한 목적으로 그 사용자를 팔로워의 행태를 분석하는 모델을 제안한다. 대상사용자의 영향력 있는 팔로워를 추출하고, 팔로워의 리트윗 정보, 프로파일, 최신 트윗의 감정분석을 통해 지지자, 중립, 비지지자로 분류한다. 제안 방법의 유효성을 검증하기 위해 트윗 데이터에서 정치인과 언론인 5 명의 팔로워들 중 무작위로 3 만명을 추출하여 실험하였다. 실험 결과 영향력 있는 사용자 추출을 통한 지지 팔로워 추출이 효과적임을 알 수 있다.

웹 2.0의 기술이 보급됨에 따라 소셜 네트워크 서비스에 대한 관심이 증가하였다. 국내에서는 싸이월드, 미투데이 등과 같은 서비스가 널리 사용되고 있으며 최근 급부상한 트위터는 여러 분야에서 관심을 받고 있다. 트위터는 팔로워나 트윗 등 활동 정도에 따라 랭킹 서비스가 제공되고 있지만 랭킹은 그들 사이의 관계를 세부적으로 나타내지 못한다. 본 논문에서는 트위터의 사용자들 사이에 존재하는 관계를 시각적으로 나타내는 도구에 대해 개발한다. 국내 사용자 중 팔로워의 랭킹에 따른 사용자를 이용하고, 시각화를 위해 생물학적 데이터를 네트워크로 나타내는 Cytocape 플랫폼을 사용한다. 사용자 간의 관계를 나타내는 네트워크를 통하여 온라인상에서 영향력 있는 사용자들의 관계를 나타내고 그들의 관계를 수치로 분석한다. 또한 복잡한 네트워크로부터 선택된 노드와 관련된 연결만을 추출하는 기능을 제공하여 온라인상의 관계를 상세하게 나타낸다.

The purpose of this current study is to examine CEO image presented in messages of CEO twitter and perceived by CEO twit followers. To conduct this study, we selected two CEOs, ChanJin Lee and HyeonMyeong Pyo who are top ranking based on a number of followers in Korea. We investigated each CEO's Tweet, RT, Reply, and RT+Reply using three CEO image factors: CEO personality, CEO quality, and CEO outward characteristics. Also, followers were asked what image mostly they have based on those three image factors. The results showed that for ChanJin Lee, CEO quality were more presented in twitter than CEO personality and CEO outward characteristics, and CEO Lee's followers also perceived that Lee has more CEO quality image than others. Pyo, HyeonMyeong has CEO quality image in twitter than others, and his followers thought that he had more CEO outward characteristics image than others.

Twitter is a social network service that generates about 140 million contents a day. Contents of Twitter contain a variety of information and many researchers research those in various fields. In this research, we propose a method for evaluating the importance of content based on characteristics of Twitter. We have found that number of follower means user's popularity and Re-tweet that means the popularity of content. We perform experiments about proposed method using real Twitter data for proving effectiveness of proposed method. Also, we found information providers in Twitter are public user who represent a company or a representative of a specific group.

The importance of business strategy for successful social media engagement has quickly increased as more businesses engage in social media. The importance is even greater for startup companies because startup companies are genuinely new to business, and they need to increase their presence in the market, and quickly access future customers. The objective of this paper lies in exploring key indicators of social media engagements by selected startup companies. The key indicators include two aspects of social media usages by the companies: i) overall social media activities, and ii) properties of network structure of the information flow platform provided by social media service. To better assess and evaluate the key indicators of social media usages by startup companies, the indicators will be compared with those of selected large established companies. Twitter is selected as a social media service for the analysis of this paper, and using Twitter REST API, data regarding the key indicators of overall Twitter activities and the Twitter follower-network of each company in the sample are collected. Then, the data are analyzed using social network analysis and hierarchical clustering analysis to examine the characteristics of the follower-network structures and to compare the characteristics between startup companies and established companies. The results show that most indicators are significantly different across startup companies and established companies. One key interesting finding is that the startup companies have proportionally more influencers in their follower-networks than the established companies have. Another interesting finding is that the follower-networks of startup companies in the sample have higher modularity and higher transitivity, suggesting that the startup companies tend to have a proportionally larger number of communities of users in their follower-networks, and the users in the networks are more tightly connected and cohesive internally. The key business implication for the future social media engagement efforts by startup companies in general is that startup companies may need to focus on getting more attention from influencers and promoting more cohesive communities in their follower-networks to appreciate the potential benefits of social media in the early stage of business of startup companies.

Recently, as smartphones have rapidly come into wide use and various social networking services have grown, people perform a variety of interactions through the virtual and real world based on them. Usually, such services focus on easy formation of social links among users, supporting the exchange of simple messages among users on the networks. Twitter, one of such services used worldwide, supports short message service named Tweet and has over 200 million members signed up. n this paper, we propose techniques for supporting real-time group messaging based on the social network of Twitter and describe a smartphone group messaging system developed with the techniques. The system automatically forms a group that include a Twitter user and the followers of the user, supporting real-time group messaging among the group members. The developed system is composed of an XMPP protocol-based messaging server and smartphone client applications which perform real-time messaging based on the social network of Twitter. Twitter users can easily use the system utilizing Tweet messages, exchanging real-time messages with their followers within the groups instantly established on the XMPP server.

본고에서는 소셜 빅데이터에서 공공안전에 위협되고 사회적으로 이슈가 되는 재난사건을 추출하기 위한 방법으로 소셜 네트워크상에서 사용자 행동 분석과 시간분석을 반영한 토픽 모델링 기법을 알아본다. 소셜 사용자의 글 수, 리트윗 반응, 활동주기, 팔로워 수, 팔로잉 수 등 사용자의 행동 분석을 통하여 활동적이고 신뢰성 있는 사용자를 분류함으로써 트윗에서 스팸성과 광고성을 제외하고 이슈에 대해 신뢰성 높은 사용자가 쓴 트윗을 중요하게 반영한다. 또한, 트위터 데이터에서 새로운 이슈가 발생한 것을 탐지하기 위해 시간별 핵심어휘 빈도의 분포 변화를 측정하고, 이슈 트윗에 대해 감성 표현 분석을 통해 핵심이슈에 대해 사건 어휘를 추출한다. 소셜 빅데이터의 특성상 같은 날짜에 여러 이슈에 대한 트윗이 많이 생성될 수 있기 때문에, 트윗들을 토픽별로 그룹핑하는 것이 필요하므로, 최근 많이 사용되고 있는 LDA 토픽모델링 기법에 시간 특성과 사용자 특성을 분석한 시간상에서의 중요한 사건 어휘를 반영하고, 해당이슈에 대한 신뢰성 있는 사용자가 쓴 트윗을 중요시 반영하도록 토픽모델링 기법을 개선한 소셜 사건 탐지 방법에 대해 알아본다.

Many people use social network services as to communicate, to share an information and to build social relationships between others on the Internet. Twitter is such a representative service, where millions of tweets are posted a day and a huge amount of data collection has been being accumulated. Social mining that extracts the meaningful information from the massive data has been intensively studied. Typically, Twitter easily can deliver and retweet the contents using the following-follower relationships. Topic modeling in tweet data is a good tool for issue tracking in social media. To overcome the restrictions of short contents in tweets, we introduce a notion of reply graph which is constructed as a graph structure of which nodes correspond to users and of which edges correspond to existence of reply and retweet messages between the users. The LDA topic model, which is a typical method of topic modeling, is ineffective for short textual data. This paper introduces a topic modeling method that uses reply graph to reduce the number of short documents and to improve the quality of mining results. The proposed model uses the LDA model as the topic modeling framework for tweet issue tracking. Some experimental results of the proposed method are presented for a collection of Twitter data of 7 days.
