Abstract

Twitter is one of the popular applications in social network which is used for sharing tweets among friends and other users.In this Paper, We propose an attack technique for inferring the clicks on shortened URLs in Twitter. The URL shortening services provides short alias of services from long URL for sharing tweets .Most of the experts can be found on twitter via searching through articles and blog posts, then following a link on their site to twitter. It seems to be much more effective way to find topic experts in Twitter.
