微博是一种新的交流方式，用户通过即时消息、手机、电子邮件或网络发布简短的帖子来描述自己的当前状态。我们通过研究Twitter（最受欢迎的微博系统之一）的社交网络的拓扑和地理属性来展示我们对微博现象的观察。我们发现，人们使用微博主要是为了谈论他们的日常活动，寻求或分享信息。我们提出了一种分类法，描述了用户在发布微博时的潜在意图。通过汇总从数据中提取的隐式社区中用户的明显意图，我们表明具有相似意图的用户相互连接。
Microblogging is a new form of communication in which users describe their current status in short posts distributed by instant messages, mobile phones, email or the Web. We present our observations of the microblogging phenomena by studying the topological and geographical properties of the social network in Twitter, one of the most popular microblogging systems. We find that people use microblogging primarily to talk about their daily activities and to seek or share information. We present a taxonomy characterizing the the underlying intentions users have in making microblogging posts. By aggregating the apparent intentions of users in implicit communities extracted from the data, we show that users with similar intentions connect with each other.
