Abstract-We study how users of multiple online social networks (OSNs) employ and share information by studying a common user pool that use six OSNs -Flickr, Google+, Instagram, Tumblr, Twitter, and YouTube. We analyze the temporal and topical signature of users' sharing behaviour, showing how they exhibit distinct behaviorial patterns on different networks. We also examine cross-sharing (i.e., the act of user broadcasting their activity to multiple OSNs near-simultaneously), a previouslyunstudied behaviour and demonstrate how certain OSNs play the roles of originating source and destination sinks.
Lim et al. REF studied how users of multiple online social networks employ and share information by analyzing a common user pool from Flickr, Google+, Instagram, Tumblr, Twitter, and showed users exhibit distinct behavioral patterns on different networks.
