Abstract
There has been a tremendous rise in the growth of online social networks all over the world in recent times such as Twitter, Facebook and Sina Weibo. Although how to measure influence in online social networks has been widely studied, the difference of influence on different topics has not been studied. In this paper, we collect the content of the influential on Sina Weibo. And then exploring into the behavior patterns from the data, such as the power-law and small-world effect, most of the influentials publish content with web links and tent to publish content at 10:15 am and 22:00 pm. At last, we compare the topic wideness, topic influence of the influentials. And we find out that people tend to publish more content on certain topics but sometime usual topics receive more attention and influence.
