google_plus — Google+ (2013)

Description

A snapshot of the directed social network of Google+ users, collected in 2012 and anonymized by M. Fire and collaborators at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, and used as one of the social networks in their study of link prediction. Nodes are users, and a directed edge $(i, j)$ means that user $i$ added user $j$ to one of their circles. The network is a partial crawl of Google+; the crawling procedure is not documented by the source.

The network has the following properties:

  • (Node) name: the anonymized user identifier.
