| Abstract | We study the temporal behavior of messages arriving in a social network. We specifically study the tweets and re-tweets sent to president Barack Obama on Twitter. We characterize the inter-arrival times between the tweets, the number of re-tweets and the spatial coordinates (latitude, longitude) of the users who sent the tweets. The modeling of the arrival process of tweets in Twitter can be applied to predict co-ordinated user behavior in social networks. While there is sufficient literature on social networks that present large volumes of collected data, the modeling and characterization of the data have been rarely discussed. The available data are usually very expensive and not comprehensive. Here, we develop a software architecture that uses a Twitter application program interface (API) to collect the tweets sent to specific users. We then extract the user ids and the exact time-stamps of the tweets. We use the collected data to characterize the inter-arrival times between tweets and the number of re-tweets. Our studies indicate that the arrival process of new tweets to a user can be modeled as a Poisson Process while the number of re-tweets follow a geometric distribution. Our data collection architecture is operating system (OS) independent. The results obtained in this research can be applied to study correlations between patterns of user behavior and their locations. |

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.
