Abstract:

Copyright 2014 ACM. Better understanding the geographic distribution of user generated content (UGC) can help design better distributed implementations of UGC systems. Although tags play a critical role in many social media, their role in the geographical distribution of UGC content has been little investigated. In this poster, we present some early work analyzing how the tags attached to a video relate to the geographic distribution of a video's views in a Youtube dataset, and hint at how such knowledge might be used to improve current UGC services.
