Abstract

Online social networks (forum) have become extremely popular; numerous sites allow users to interact and share content using social links observing that there are some limitations on most of the social interaction networks. A recent study has demonstrated that the “strength of ties” varies widely, ranging from pairs of users who are best friends to pairs of users who even wished they weren’t friends. In order to distinguish between these strong and weak links, researchers have suggested examining the activity networks, the network that is formed by users who actually interact using one or many of the methods provided by the social networking site. Also for effective study, we collect data on both friendship relationship and interactions for a large subset of the Facebook social network and forum, Twitter, 2go, m.eskimi and other social interactive networks. From a technological standpoint, forums or boards are web applications managing user-generated content. Early Internet forums could be described as a web version of an electronic mailing list or newsgroup (such as exist on Usenet); allowing people to post messages and comment on other messages. It has been discovered that Chat forum is one of the newest way in which organization and the business world use now to reach out to their numerous customers in order to get feedback and responses concerning its entire product lines to share of their opinion.
