Abstract
In the past, most researchers focused on the efficacy of tie-strength in various applications for both online and offline social networks. However, how tie-strength can help in the analysis of online social networks was a commonly neglected issue. The massive size and recording properties of online social networks offer the possibility to measure tie-strength objectively. In this study, we examine a social network extracted from a blog network. We then propose a tie-strength measurement and investigate several properties of the network using the tie-strength we defined. We also study how tie-strength plays a role in these properties.
