private messaging, replying to the same comments, or the number of real-world communication captured by
Facebook. There is no doubt that mass adoption of online social networks lead to high information flow and high availability of this information for the individuals. However, it turned out that in transmitting important information such as new job vacancies or future plans weak ties have an advantage compared to the strong ties, because they have fewer mutual contacts, this is why every person has access to the information to which the other person does not.

It uses quality or value attributes, provided by a recommender system or by thorough analysis of site accesses that are attached to cached information to prioritize items in the cache and to identify higher value information. These methods aid in analysing networks.

across two
Western (United States and United Kingdom) and two Eastern cultures (China and India). It turned out that Eastern users tend to write serious professional networking questions, whereas Western users post questions just for fun. These differences are important for designing social networks for specific cultures.

Her paper "Tracking Information Epidemics in Blogspace" written with E. Adar got the Web Intelligence most influential paper of the decade award in 2011.

The other question which interests Adamic is information diffusion through social networks. After studying 253 million subjects on
Facebook, they found that weak ties are more influential than strong ties. Tie strength is determined by how often individuals communicate with each other through

Facebook revealed that the interaction on Facebook doesn't decrease with the distance, which means that in the U.S. Facebook is a very important tool for parents/grandparents to communicate with their children/grandchildren. The results of the paper are

The analysis of cultural differences when using social networks can be useful for the developers of the social networks. Adamic together with her colleagues is exploring these differences. In one of her papers she tries to find the differences between usage of Q & A tools in social networks

during the House, Senate and gubernatorial midterm elections in the U.S. in 2010. They found significant relationships between content and election results, which is why more detailed analysis of several campaigns could be useful to predict which
Twitter campaigns are the most effective.

In her paper about rating friends on
Facebook, Dr. Adamic and her co-authors suggest the way to improve Facebook system of ranking friends to avoid awkward situations when friends rated one another differently. Particularly they suggest to use an alternative, anonymous feedback system.
