Abstract:
With the spread of online social media websites, a huge amount of online content is continuously provided. However, some contents gain an important attention from users while other contents are completely ignored. This highlights the analysis of popularity relative to different social content. The popularity is expressed through measures and features that act as factors expressing and influencing the popularity. Those features vary from an online social media website to another as it depends on the type of social entity. This paper tries to create a normalized view of the popularity metrics independent of the online social media and in relation with specific social entities that are user and media content (i.e. text, image, and video). We propose a Service Provider Interface (SPI) as a contract between users. The SPI offers a variety of interfaces for implementing services related to the quantification of social entities popularity independently of the online social media they belong
to.
