CollegeMsg temporal network
Dataset information
This dataset is comprised of private messages sent on an online social network at the University of California, Irvine. Users could search the network for others and then initiate conversation based on profile information. An edge (u, v, t) means that user u sent a private message to user v at time t. The dataset here is derived from the one hosted by Tore Opsahl, but we have parsed it so that it can be loaded directly into SNAP as a temporal network.
