Complexity Research of Massively Microblogging Based on Human Behaviors

Microblogging is one of the most popular on-line social services by which people can share information and communicate with others. In the paper, it is proved that in a microblogging´s social network, there exists small-world, scale-free and high clustering coefficient characteristics, which are three main properties of complex network. It means that microblogging´s social network is a complex network. Besides, it is verified that the number of microblogs and the frequency of posting microblogs follow power-law distributions, which is an evidence that shows human dynamics are non-Poissonian. The related geographical property analysis of microblogging´s social network illustrates the reason of users´ geographical distribution.
