Abstract

One of the most common analyses in social networks concerns power users (also called influencers, lead users, influential users, etc.), i.e. users who play a crucial role in the dissemination of information in a social platform. In this paper, we want to make a double contribution to this line of research by proposing a new definition of power users that takes into account the four main centralities of Social Network Analysis and then applying it to Threads, a social platform that is still little studied by social network analysts because of its young age.
