We study the evolution of the number of retweets received by Twitter users over the course of their careers on the platform. We find that on average the number of retweets received by users tends to increase over time. This is partly expected because users tend to gradually accumulate followers. Normalizing by the number of followers, however, reveals that the relative, per-follower retweet rate tends to be non-monotonic, maximized at a peak age after which it does not increase, or even decreases. We develop a simple mathematical model of the process behind this phenomenon, which assumes a constantly growing number of followers, each of whom loses interest over time. We show that this model is sufficient to explain the non-monotonic nature of per-follower retweet rates, without any assumptions about the quality of content posted at different times.

It is known that many Twitter users are bots, which are accounts controlled and sometimes created by computers. Twitter bots can send spam tweets, manipulate public opinion and be used for online fraud. Here we report the discovery, retrieval, and an
alysis of the `Star Wars botnet in Twitter, which consists of more than 350,000 bots tweeting random quotations exclusively from Star Wars novels. The botnet contains a single type of bot, showing exactly the same properties throughout the botnet. It is unusually large, many times larger than other available datasets. It provides a valuable source of ground truth for research on Twitter bots. We analysed and revealed rich details on how the botnet was designed and created. As of this writing, the Star Wars bots are still alive in Twitter. They have survived since their creation in 2013, despite the increasing efforts in recent years to detect and remove Twitter bots.We also reflect on the `unconventional way in which we discovered the Star Wars bots, and discuss the current problems and future challenges of Twitter bot detection.
We present the first comprehensive characterization of the diffusion of ideas on Twitter, studying more than 4000 topics that include both popular and less popular topics. On a data set containing approximately 10 million users and a comprehensive sc
raping of all the tweets posted by these users between June 2009 and August 2009 (approximately 200 million tweets), we perform a rigorous temporal and spatial analysis, investigating the time-evolving properties of the subgraphs formed by the users discussing each topic. We focus on two different notions of the spatial: the network topology formed by follower-following links on Twitter, and the geospatial location of the users. We investigate the effect of initiators on the popularity of topics and find that users with a high number of followers have a strong impact on popularity. We deduce that topics become popular when disjoint clusters of users discussing them begin to merge and form one giant component that grows to cover a significant fraction of the network. Our geospatial analysis shows that highly popular topics are those that cross regional boundaries aggressively.
COVID-19 has affected the world economy and the daily life routine of almost everyone. It has been a hot topic on social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, etc. These social media platforms enable users to share information with other users w
ho can reshare this information, thus causing this information to spread. Twitters retweet functionality allows users to share the existing content with other users without altering the original content. Analysis of social media platforms can help in detecting emergencies during pandemics that lead to taking preventive measures. One such type of analysis is predicting the number of retweets for a given COVID-19 related tweet. Recently, CIKM organized a retweet prediction challenge for COVID-19 tweets focusing on using numeric features only. However, our hypothesis is, tweet text may play a vital role in an accurate retweet prediction. In this paper, we combine numeric and text features for COVID-19 related retweet predictions. For this purpose, we propose two CNN and RNN based models and evaluate the performance of these models on a publicly available TweetsCOV19 dataset using seven different evaluation metrics. Our evaluation results show that combining tweet text with numeric features improves the performance of retweet prediction significantly.
Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, users are increasingly turning to online services. An increase in social media usage has also been observed, leading to the suspicion that this has also raised cyberbullying. In this initial work, we explore the possi
bility of an increase in cyberbullying incidents due to the pandemic and high social media usage. To evaluate this trend, we collected 454,046 cyberbullying-related public tweets posted between January 1st, 2020 -- June 7th, 2020. We summarize the tweets containing multiple keywords into their daily counts. Our analysis showed the existence of at most one statistically significant changepoint for most of these keywords, which were primarily located around the end of March. Almost all these changepoint time-locations can be attributed to COVID-19, which substantiates our initial hypothesis of an increase in cyberbullying through analysis of discussions over Twitter.
North American institutions of higher education (IHEs): universities, 4- and 2-year colleges, and trade schools -- are heavily present and followed on Twitter. An IHE Twitter account, on average, has 20,000 subscribers. Many of them follow more than
one IHE, making it possible to construct an IHE network, based on the number of co-followers. In this paper, we explore the structure of a network of 1,435 IHEs on Twitter. We discovered significant correlations between the network attributes: various centralities and clustering coefficients -- and IHEs attributes, such as enrollment, tuition, and religious/racial/gender affiliations. We uncovered the community structure of the network linked to homophily -- such that similar followers follow similar colleges. Additionally, we analyzed the followers self-descriptions and identified twelve overlapping topics that can be traced to the followers group identities.
