Title
Buddy2GuessWho: a smartphone application in on-line social network platform
Abstract
With the rapid development of online social networks, a lot of social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace or Twitter have been present. By using mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet computers, people can build online relationship with their friends anytime and anywhere. In this paper we design and implement a smartphone application called Buddy2GuessWho. This application provides an opportunity for users to make a guess for their friends by asking some questions. The purpose of exploiting Buddy2GuessWho is to investigate the influence of social relationship between a user and his/her friends. The numerical results show that 65.3% of users will make a correct guess at the first time if they are well-acquainted. The results also show that the more questions the users ask, the less acquaintance they have with that person. Moreover, the error rate of guessing increases as the level of acquaintance is decreased.
