论文摘要
社交媒体受到持续的增长和进化的影响，但对它们的早期采用阶段知之甚少。为了阐明这一方面，本文从经验上表征了在2017年发生的沙特阿拉伯一种新型社交媒体的初始和全国范围内采用。与既定的社交媒体不同，研究的网络jodel是匿名和位置，以数百个独立社区为基础，以我们比较我们的采用模式。从操作员的角度来看，我们对这些不同社区的演变的时间和地理维度进行了详细的完整视角 - 从他们建立的第一个几个月到饱和度。这样，我们就可以尽早采用一种新型的社交媒体，这一过程通常是由于缺乏涵盖新网络第一天的数据而看不见的。
Social media is subject to constant growth and evolution, yet little is known about their early phases of adoption. To shed light on this aspect, this paper empirically characterizes the initial and country-wide adoption of a new type of social media in Saudi Arabia that happened in 2017. Unlike established social media, the studied network Jodel is anonymous and location-based to form hundreds of independent communities country-wide whose adoption pattern we compare. We take a detailed and full view from the operators perspective on the temporal and geographical dimension on the evolution of these different communities -- from their very first the first months of establishment to saturation. This way, we make the early adoption of a new type of social media visible, a process that is often invisible due to the lack of data covering the first days of a new network.
