Abstract :
The purpose of this paper is to assess the extent to which the news is discussed in social network web sites. Through the analisis of some social networks sites to see the inner things. The text analysis suggests that users just keep friends on space but lack of some diccussion of news, butthe link and page analysis suggests that the key difference is less between social network environments and blog environments than between free standardised environments (e.g. MySpace and Blogger) and professional or semi-professional blogs, with the former tending to carry relatively little news-related content. The methods used are exploratory rather than giving definitive conclusions. Those interested in public reactions to the news should focus on blogs and blog-like social network sites rather than general social network sites, and should expect only a tiny proportion of the discussions to be news-related.
