All ties are equal, but some ties are more equal than others

”Although it is obvious that a friendship in Facebook means something different to an offline friendship (in terms of the cost of making and maintaining the tie, for example, and in terms of the publicprivate nature of the action), it is perhaps easier to interpret a tie in Facebook compared with a hyperlink tie.” (Ackland, 2009)
”It is important that they carefully consider how the various biases demonstrated across these approaches will differentially impact the ability to answer varying questions.” (Adams, 2010)

Publicity of the tie
• Friendship in social networks can be used to singal social status (Donath & boyd, 2004; Donath 2007)
• Public consumption is linked to self-representation, changing the consumption patterns (Ratner & Kahn, 2002; Silfverberg et al., 2011)
Social Personal
Nominal Latent

Intensity of the tie
• Only a part of the social ties are engaged in active communication (Huberman et al., 2009; Golder et al., 2007)
• When asked, only part of the network is labeled as friends (Zinoview & Duong, 2009)

Future work
Our previous work focused on ~ 20 college students, mobile phones and campus social media (Karikoski & Nelimarkka, 2011)
• Larger sample size
• New online medias

Conclusions
1. Validity: think what your ties are all about
2. Differences of the ties: publicity and activity
3. Data from multiple sources
