Abstract  Using the complex network and statistical methods, this paper analyzes the network topology and user behavior characteristics of the Sina micro-blogging on the individual and group levels. The results show that human behaviors have different multi-scaling characteristics. Of which, node degree distribution and microblog-post behavior approximately obey the power law distribution; however the forwarding and comment behavior obeys exponential truncated power-law distribution. Based on this, the interest-driven mechanism and heavy-tail characteristics of the user behavior are studied and some commonalities are botained. It is helpful to the research of public opinion propagation dynamics.
Key wordsMicro-blogging      Social network      User behavior      Exponential truncated power-law distribution
