Social Network Service(SNS) has become a hot trend as a web service which helps users construct social relationships in the web and enables online communication. The information about user activities and behaviors obtained from the SNSs is expected to be an useful knowledge source for other services such as recommendation services. Most of previous researches on SNS rely on analyzing overall network topology and surveying the activities in a one-dimensional aspect. This paper propose a system for measuring multi-dimensional interaction through the activities in a SNS. The proposed system delivers an unified profile (consisting of profile and multi-dimension interaction) model from user-activities in Twitter.com. At the experimental section, some meaningful perspectives on a set of the unified profiles are described.

As the usage of social network service(SNS) increases recently, great attention has been shown to the information security in SNS. However, there has been little investment in SNS environment for security while preferential investment to attract subscribers has been made so far. Moreover, there is still a lack of confidence for investment effect and an absence of framework to analyze the threat factors of information security in SNS. In this paper, we propose to model for decision-making standard of SNS information security investment by the AHP.

It also shows that 'Profile-squatting and reputation slander through ID thefts' and 'Corporate espionage' are important threat factors in SNS information security.
