A method is disclosed for analyzing information from social media websites and providing advertisements based on this information. Social media websites are analyzed to determine topics of conversation and, for particular users, areas of interest, levels of expertise, and areas of influence over other users. User information, content, and relationships may be analyzed across different social media websites to match users on different social media websites to a single actual person and thereby obtain additional information about that person. Advertisements may be created which are targeted to a very specific type of user, such as by targeting a particular interest, level of expertise, etc. Users of the social media websites may be qualified according to their interest, expertise, and area of influence and particular users may be chosen for advertisements based on these metrics. Advertisements may be presented to particular qualified users and not to general users.

Social media network environment for topics of information to impact social measurements, bringing generational awareness to improve community cultural and economic values. The network environment is a platform for sharing knowledge relating to fashion media, model media, and dress code media “FMDC” for human observations. The platform extracts database information and analyzes queried occurrences to identify stored patterns for communications through a centralized system, providing substance of things hoped for, revealing the evidence of things not commonly seen, which is CHANGE. CHANGE is embraced for sustainable cultural independence, for by CHANGE the society receives good reports that things which are seen were not spiritually made of things which do appear, but are made through creative minds and discoveries that may lead to economic growth, not as a means of inquiry, but rather as a dimension of social sustainability to gracefully improve corporate and community cultural interest through economic vision.

The invention provides a method for automatically screening influential users on social media networks. The method comprises the following steps of: modeling for users, interested objects and interaction relationship between the users and the interested objects by a hypergraph model; automatically learning to obtain a connotative interest topic by using a regularization topic probability model of hypergraph restraints and taking the similarity relationship between the content information and the content information of the interested objects as restraints; and performing topic influence sorting on each user and interest object, propagating topic influence by using a similarity propagation model, the users and the interest objects on the hypergraph and the hyperedge between the users and the interest objects until to reaching a steady state, and then sorting to obtain the influential users under specific topics. By the method, the distribution of the user influence in the social media network can be truly and accurately reflected.

Login credentials for at least one website, such as a social networking website, are received from a user purporting to act on behalf of an entity, for example, in the context of registering the entity with a system for electronic bill payment. Social data relating to the entity is retrieved from the websites using the login credentials. The social data comprises a plurality of social connections, each reflecting a respective relationship between the entity and a respective third party. A plurality of relevant social connections comprising at least a subset of the plurality of social connections is determined, each social connection of the plurality of relevant social connections reflecting a relationship to a respective third party that is deemed to be reliable. A reliability rating of the entity is then determined based on the plurality of relevant social connections.

A system and method of detecting a source of a rumor in a social media network is disclosed. The social media network includes a plurality of node clusters, each of the plurality of nodes therein having at least one edge connection to a corresponding number of different nodes in the same cluster. The system identifies a plurality of gateway nodes, each having at least one weak tie connection with a corresponding gateway node from a different node cluster; selects a subset of gateway nodes as sensors to measure arrival times of a rumor; and selects a candidate node cluster based on these arrival times. From there, the system selects a set of nodes in the candidate cluster to measure arrival times of a rumor from a source node, and selects a candidate node from the candidate cluster as having a high probability of being the source node.
