以新浪微博用户数据为基础,通过用户之间的“相互关注”采集样本,并用社会网络分析方法进行相关分析,从整体上把握新浪微博用户的网络关系结构,并基于此探析微博的社交功能。研究表明:新浪微博用户的相互关注数较少,对他人联系有核心作用的用户也很少,某一节点受其他节点控制的情况不是很明显,这是一个社交网络;然而根据相关微博使用行为调查,用户使用微博更多的是获取信息、参与话题等,这与现阶段中国的特殊情况有关。
Based on the user data of Sina micro-blog, we collect samples by"mutual follow" between users, and analyze the whole net-work and the individual network with social network analysis method. The attempt of this paper is to grasp the network structure of Sina micro-blog users on the whole, and then analyze the social function of micro-blog. The research shows that:the number of"mutual fol-low" between Sina micro-blog users is small, and the number of users playing a central role in the relationships of other users is small, the situation that one node is controlled by others is not obvious, so it is a social network. However, according to some related survey about micro-blog using behaviors, most users use micro-blog to get information and participate in some hot topics, which is relevant to the spe-cial situations of China at present.
