| Abstract | Online social networks (OSNs) represent a significant portion of Web traffic today, comparable with search engines. Even though their primary purpose is different from that of search engines, OSNs are impacting how users navigate the Web and what types of websites they visit. This paper is motivated by the desire to understand the similarities and differences in the websites users visit through OSNs versus through search engines. Using Web traffic logs from 17,000 DSL subscribers of a Tier 1 ISP in the United States, we find that while OSN visitors are less likely to navigate to external websites, when they do, they spend more time at those websites compared to when search engine users visit external websites. Also, OSNs send their users to a narrower subset of the Web than search engines. While websites related to games and video are more commonly visited from OSNs, shopping and reference sites are common for search engines. Finally, OSNs send their visitors to less popular domains more often than search engines. Our findings can be useful to ISPs in network provisioning and traffic engineering. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
