Abstract:
The structure of social network and its information spreading characteristics in 41 users of Sina microb-logs were studied , which showed that the exchange level was quite low in the 41 users of health information in Sina microblogs, usually in small groups.Although the 41 users were found in the core area, their exchange was sporadic even with no exchange in the core nodes or in other nodes, thus effective information sharing could not be achieved and information could not be widely spread .
