TL;DR
A general framework which can be used for modeling and predicting the popularity of online contents, and it is shown that the models can predict the lifetime of threads from Dpreview (Myspace) by observing a thread during the first 5-6days and the number of comments which a content receives.

This work shows that this seemingly mysterious phenomenon of boosting can be understood in terms of well-known statistical principles, namely additive modeling and maximum likelihood, and develops more direct approximations and shows that they exhibit nearly identical results to boosting.

Identifying the influential bloggers in a community
511 Citations2008Nitin Agarwal, Huan Liu +2 more
The challenges of identifying influential bloggers are discussed, what constitutes influential bloggers is investigated, a preliminary model attempting to quantify an influential blogger is presented, and the way for building a robust model that allows for finding various types of the influentials is paved.
Statistical analysis of the social network and discussion threads in slashdot
298 Citations2008Vicenç Gómez, Andreas Kaltenbrunner +1 more
The social network emerging from the user comment activity on the website Slashdot is analyzed, showing common features of traditional social networks such as a giant component, small average path length and high clustering but differs from them showing moderate reciprocity and neutral assortativity by degree.
Leave a Reply: An Analysis of Weblog Comments
277 Citations2006Gilad Mishne, Natalie Glance
A large-scale study of weblog comments and their relation to the posts is presented, using a sizable corpus of comments to estimate the overall volume of comments in the blogosphere; analyze the relation between the weblog popularity and commenting patterns in it; and measure the contribution of comment content to various aspects of weblogs access.

A causespecific, competing-risks PHM is shown to outperform the traditional discrete-time PHM, and evidence for substantial unobserved heterogeneity in the data is found, both in the parameters of marketing variables and in the baseline hazards.
Describing and forecasting video access patterns
148 Citations2011Gonca Gürsun, Mark Crovella +1 more
It is shown that for frequently-accessed videos, daily access patterns can be extracted via principal component analysis, and used efficiently for forecasting, and this work develops a framework for characterization and forecasting of access patterns.

A field experiment was conducted in Germany to explore whether driver characteristics and the social status of cars are related to an aggressive response, and the status of the blocked cars was positively correlated with the tendency toward anaggressive response.
Description and Prediction of Slashdot Activity
72 Citations2007Andreas Kaltenbrunner, Vicenç Gómez +1 more
A statistical analysis of user's reaction time to a new discussion thread in online debates on the popular news site Slashdot shows that a mixture of two log-normal distributions combined with the circadian rhythm of the community is able to explain with surprising accuracy the reaction time of comments within a discussion thread.
Enhancing clustering blog documents by utilizing author/reader comments
51 Citations2007Beibei Li, Shuting Xu +1 more
It is argued that the author/reader comments of the blog pages may have more discriminating effect in clustering blog documents, and a word-page matrix constructed by downloading blog pages from a well-known website and a k-means clustering algorithm with different weights assigned to the title, body, and comment parts confirms this hypothesis.
