Abstract

Online social networks are often a by-product of blogging and other online media sites on the Internet. Services such as LiveJournal allow their users to specify who their "friends" are, and thus a social network is formed. Some users choose not to disclose personal information which their friends list. This paper will explore the relationship between users with the intent of being able to make a prediction of a users age and country of residence based on the information given by their friends on this social network.
