“…Under the anywhere, anytime connected situation, Korean internet users are likely to be open-minded to online gathering. Among Korean internet users, 60% of those polled thought that offline strangers could be friends online, and 32% easily accepted friendship requests on the internet (Yun et al, 2010). Given the virtual environment of Korea, online social network tools, such as “cafés” (online communities) and, more recently, “Twitter”, have been frequently used to disseminate information, spark up debates, and organize collective actions in Korea (Hsu et al, 2013; Park and Jankowski, 2008).…”

This study provides an empirical account of how an online community has employed social media to mobilize people for a political goal. The case explored is a Twitter-based community in South Korea that calls for the elimination of a conservative national daily newspaper and whose activism is contextualized in the political history of Korea. Based on the mixed-method approach, the research results suggest that the role of the group organizer as an information provider and coordinator contributed to the sustainability of the group, and that group members formed a collective identity through the framing process of discourse. In addition, massive “retweeting” and “culture jamming” tactics were found to be strategically employed to enhance group solidarity, to broaden the base of support, and to crystallize involvement into political acts with other offline actions. Rather than decaying to an echo chamber or “slacktivism”, the online community seemed to demonstrate a new form of collective activism through the mediation of technology in everyday life.

“…At present, in the view of the network-structure-model researchers, user connection study and its weight measure are very popular. Yun et al [16] analyzed five factors which influence mutual connections between users in Twitter. Chen et al [17] analyzed the equivalence attributes of online users, which are mostly based on the user connection strength.…”

Recently, microblogging is widely studied by the researchers in the domain of the online social network (OSN). How to evaluate the popularities of microblogging users is an important research field, which can be applied to commercial advertising, user behavior analysis and information dissemination, and so forth. Previous studies on the evaluation methods cannot effectively solve and accurately evaluate the popularities of the microbloggers. In this paper, we proposed an electromagnetic field theory based model to analyze the popularities of microbloggers. The concept of the source in microblogging field is first put forward, which is based on the concept of source in the electromagnetic field; then, one’s microblogging flux is calculated according to his/her behaviors (send or receive feedbacks) on the microblogging platform; finally, we used three methods to calculate one’s microblogging flux density, which can represent one’s popularity on the microblogging platform. In the experimental work, we evaluated our model using real microblogging data and selected the best one from the three popularity measure methods. We also compared our model with the classic PageRank algorithm; and the results show that our model is more effective and accurate to evaluate the popularities of the microbloggers.
