Abstract :
One of the most interesting and still not completely understood phenomena happening in Social Network Sites is their ability to spread (or not) units of information which may aggregate to form large distributed conversations. In this paper we present the result of an empirical study on a Large Social Database (LSD) aimed at measuring the factors enabling information spreading in Social Network Sites.
