| Abstract | Recent statistics suggest that online social network (OSN) users regularly share video contents from video sharing sites (VSSes), and a significant amount of views of VSSes are indeed from OSN users nowadays. By crawling and comparing the statistics of same videos shared in both RenRen (the largest Facebook-like OSN in China) and Youku (the largest Youtube-like VSS in China), we find that the huge and distinguished video requests from OSNs have substantially changed the workload of VSSes. In particular, OSNs amplify the skewness of video popularity so largely that about 0.31% most popular videos account for 80% of total views. Another interesting phenomenon is that many popular videos in VSSes may not receive many requests in OSNs. To further understand these findings, we track the propagation process of videos shared in RenRen since their introduction to this OSN, and analyze the effect of potential parameters to such process, including the number of initiators (users who bring the video to the OSN directly from a VSS), branching factor (the number of users who watch the friend's shared video), and share rate (the probability that the viewers of a video will further share this video). Beyond our expectation, none of these factors determine a video's popularity in an OSN. Instead, it shows great randomness for the number of a video's potential requests when it is shared to an OSN. By modifying the basic Galton-Watson stochastic branching process, we develop a simple yet effective model to simulate the video propagation process in an OSN. Simulation results show that it can well capture the randomness of a video's popularity and the skewed video popularity distribution. |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
