Geographic Differences in Social Media Interactions Exist Between Western and Middle-East Countries
- In this paper, we empirically analyze two examples of a Western (DE) versus Middle-East (SA) Online Social Messaging App. By focusing on the system interactions over time in comparison, we identify inherent differences in user engagement. We take a deep dive and shed light onto differences in user attention shifts and showcase their structural implications to the user experience. Our main findings show that in comparison to the German counterparts, the Saudi communities prefer creating content in longer conversations, while voting more conservative.
