Anybeat Social Network
A Anybeat dataset of 12,645 users, 49,132 connections, collected by Fire et al. (2012) via Anybeat platform. Each record contains undirected edges between Anybeat users representing social connections in the community platform. Anybeat social network capturing user connections in a public gathering place where people interact with others from around their neighborhood or across the world. Suitable for link prediction, social network analysis, community detection, online community behavior studies.
