Ranjitha Gurunath Kulkarni MSIT-VLIS 2nd yr.

From this course, I want to get answers to a lot of questions I have regarding behaviour of people on Social media. To quote a few ,

  • Do users prefer processed (summarized) information or individual, raw personal information?
  • Do people like interactive learning or passive browsing more or which one do they prefer when?
  • There are so much duplication of information on the internet, how do the less popular sites still survive?
  • How do opinions spread across a network? Is it just the popularity of the source that decides this or are there some other network properties to it?
