Based on user’s in-degree distribution, traditional ranking algorithms of user’s weight usually neglect the considerations of the differences among user’s followers and the features of user’s tweets. In order to analyze the factors which impact on user’s weight, under the analysis of the data collected from SINA Microblog network, this paper discovers that user influence and active degrees are the dominant factors for this issue. The proposed algorithm evaluates user influence by user’s follower number, the influence of user’s followers and the reciprocity between users. User’s active degree is modeled by user’s participation and the quality of user’s tweets. The models are tested by different data groups to confirm the parameters for the final calculation. Eventually, this paper compares the computational results with the user’s ranking order given by the SINA official application. The performance of this algorithm presents a stronger stability on the fluctuant range of the value of user’s weight.
