ABSTRACT:
Determining influential and/or popular participants in a network using messages exchanged among a group of participants. One method includes: representing the group of participants and the messages exchanged among the group of participants as nodes and links, respectively; analyzing the messages to produce message relevant data for each node; and propagating the message relevant data of the each node out to other nodes in the network to produce a corresponding influence value for each node, wherein the corresponding influence value indicates relative size and strength of social activity or connections of a participant corresponding to each node.
