“…The pattern of results was the same, with the exception that the two most active groups were indistinguishable 10. We did the same analysis using 10 equal sized groups, and the pattern was the same: women pinned more diverse content for all groups except the least and most active.…”

Pinterest is a popular social curation site where people collect, organize, and share pictures of items. We studied a fundamental issue for such sites: what patterns of activity attract attention (audience and content reposting)? We organized our studies around two key factors: the extent to which users specialize in particular topics, and homophily among users. We also considered the existence of differences between female and male users. We found: (a) women and men differed in the types of content they collected and the degree to which they specialized; male Pinterest users were not particularly interested in stereotypically male topics; (b) sharing diverse types of content increases your following, but only up to a certain point; (c) homophily drives repinning: people repin content from other users who share their interests; homophily also affects following, but to a lesser extent. Our findings suggest strategies both for users (e.g., strategies to attract an audience) and maintainers (e.g., content recommendation methods) of social curation sites.

“…In Cunha et al (2012), the gender is included as a social determinant that influences the user in selecting hashtags about a particular topic. In the same way, Romero et al (2011) studied how information spreads differently online by analyzing the ways in which tokens, known as hashtags, spread on a network defined by the interactions among Twitter users.…”

International audienceVirtual social networks have led to a new way of communication that is different from the oral one, where the restriction of time and space generates new linguistic practices. Twitter, a medium for political and social discussion, can be analyzed to understand new ways of communication and to explore sociosemiotics aspects that come with the use of the hashtags and their relationship with other elements. This paper presents a quantitative study of tweets, around a fixed hashtag, in relation with other contents that users bring to connection. By calculating the frequency of terms, a table of nodes and edges is created to visualize tweets like graphs. Our study applies social network analysis that, going beyond mere topology, reveals relevant sociosemantic communities providing insights for the comparison of social and political movements
