Correlation between People’s Behaviors in Cyber World and Their Geological Position Lixiong Chen Jan 24 th, 2009

Observation A cyber social network might be centralized or highly distributed w.r.t. its members’ geological positions: e.g. (1) McGill Network on Facebook. (2) Organization of people sharing the same interest. An event occurs in position A may arouse more attention of people from a distant place (position B) than that of locals.

A Reasonable Guess Different people from different regions may react differently to various events; Interactions between members may vary due to the type of the cyber organization they belong to; In some degree, people’s behaviors in the cyber world are inconsistent to place they reside, but correlation probably exists.

Methodology Description of people’s behaviors in the cyber world can be obtained using social computing methods; Google Map can provide geological information; One can design a table in which each entry is associated with set of parameters (e.g. distance, frequency of interaction etc.) Conclude it in a mathematical model.
