Introduction

While SNA has existed for decades (Moreno and Jennings 1934; Milgram 1967), its field of application has long been limited to small networks usually counting tens of nodes or rarely hundreds (Wasserman and Faust 1994). In recent times, large network data have become available, e.g., email logs (Schwartz and Wood 1993) and data generated by online services like Twitter (Huberman et al. 2009), Facebook (Stefanone et al. 2011), or YouTube (Cheng et al. 2008). When we focus on networks of individuals, where the nodes of the network represent the users of the SNS, these services have often been described as single homogeneous networks where only a single type of relationship exists between the nodes. However, recent researches have stressed how both online and offline social experiences can...
