This framework is a helpful tool for web analysts to understand the general context of a specific domain and the trends of the information market in that domain. Twenty-one English and Italian online communities in the tourism field have been identified, where tourists’ experiences are shared in different forms, such as videos, photos, blogs/diaries of travel experiences and reviews. g. Flickr and YouTube); in these cases, the section “Travel & tourism” has been considered. g. com) have been considered.
In figure 1 the users’ ranking variations in that period are presented. In figure 1 each circle represents an active user within the community. The study considers only the first ten active top users in each observation (the dotted line separates the first ten positions from the others in the ranking). As it can be seen, during the different observations some users changed their ranking position, other users went out of the ranking. In figure 1, new entries are represented with capital letters.
