Diary: Followers

Twitter has seen some heavyweight tweeters have a major impact on user dynamics as the user mix has changed: A group of 10% of users posts more than 90% of all tweets. In 2010, an information scientist found from a comprehensive data analysis of all Twitter users that only 22% of uses were following each other, while 68% were not followed by any of the users they were following: "People follow others, not just to be social, but it's to get information. The act of following represents a desire to receive all the tweets that others send. RTs and # buttons is utilized by a small number of users to create trendings, allowing more people to become potential followers. However, the most influential positions are not reserved exclusively for users who create a lot of retweets. In fact, skilled users can also have a substantial impact on a variety of topics, as the researchers conclude: "Influence is not gained spontaneously or accidentally, but through concerted efforts, such as limiting tweets to a single topic. "

Twitter 随着用户结构的变化，一些重量级的推主对用户动态产生了重大影响:一个由10%用户组成的群体生产了超过90%的推文。2010年，有信息科学家从对所有Twitter用户的全面数据分析中发现，只有22%的用户是相互关注的，而68%的用户没有被任何他们所关注的用户关注:“人们关注他人，不仅仅是为了社交，而且是为了获取信息，因为关注的行为代表着接收(原文)别人发的所有推文的欲望。”创造流行的RT和#按钮被少数用户利用，让更多人成为潜在的Twitter用户。然而， 最有影响力的位置并不是专门为那些制造大量转发的用户保留的;事实上，有技巧的用户也可以对各种主题产生实质性的影响，正如研究人员总结的那样:“影响力不是自发地或意外地获得，而是通过协调一致的努力，例如将推文限制在一个主题上获得的。”
