Title Internet social network services big data analysis
Description Social network service (SNS) providers use big data application services to analyse the
relationships between social network service users.
Social network service users register to SNS services with parts of their background
information, such as education and working experience, professional skills, etc. The data
provider (SNS platform provider) saves the registered users information in databases. The SNS
platform provider uses big data services provided by the CSP:BDIP and CSP:BDAP who use cloud
computing systems and technologies, such as distributed databases, computing frameworks,
cache systems, etc. The SNS platform provider could analyse the behaviour of the SNS users
and their co-relationships between each other. The CSC:BDSU (SNS platform provider) could
push and promote the contact information to the SNS users that the pushed persons may have
some relationship with receivers through pop messages or emails. Privacy rules are followed, if
applicable.
