The huge popularity of on-line social networking sites has increased the likelihood that locally-relevant events propagate globally throughout the Web. Conversely, real world events captured as digital content on the Web may influence the behavior of these digital social communities. In this work we collected and analyzed event-related data from LastFM, and global volume of searches from GoogleTrends, with the following objectives: (1) to study the event mechanism provided by LastFM, (2) to evaluate the impact of global and local events on system utilization, and (3) to understand the event-related propagation of information over social links. We analyze the impact of LastFM events on the user activity and interests. Our study indicates that half of LastFM events cause an increase of the interest for an artist. However, several peaks of popularity are not associated with LastFM events, while being highly correlated with global volume of Internet searches provided by Google Trends. Finally, our analysis shows that the interest for an artist appears to be disseminated over social links. We find out that there are two factors likely to make a user influential over his friends: the degree of interest and the number of social links.
