Abstract:

To learn more about redundancy phenomenon,a measurement to quantify this redundancy was proposed and the probability of individual redundancy in the process of information diffusion was deduced.Using simulated networks,how information propagation rate,network density,clustering coefficient affect information redundancy was investigated.The diffusion characteristics of redundant information through the actual data of Sina Weibo was observed and the perspective of information redundancy in advertising promotion and product marketing was discussed from marketing.The findings provide a new perspective for further understanding of the information diffusion characteristics of online social media.

Key words: social network, online social media, information diffusion, information redundancy
