Abstract

This paper explores visiting metrics and some of the more important general network properties of Fitcolab online social network (OSN). The wide array of statistics was explored in order to obtain general insight that will not only be useful by itself but would also serve as the starting platform for more focused research endeavors that are to be based on the same experimental network. Longitudinal OSN usage patterns are studied for number of visits, average duration of visits and number of active users. Network structural characteristics analyzed included reachability, average distance, diameter, clustering coefficient, in/out degree distributions. Longitudinal analyses of a number of structural characteristics were also carried out. Partial interpretation of the results followed.
