FriendsNet
FriendsNet is a research project on the evolution of social networks, designed by the Institute of Informatics and Telematics of CNR (National Research Council) together with Trento RISE.
The study is carried out through a Facebook application that collects anonymous data on the development of the user's network of friends. Participants are asked to use this application 3 times during 2014, answering a few short questions and indicating the degree of friendship with each Facebook "friend".
Participants who will be selected and perform the required tasks will receive gift cards.
The project is addressed to people who have moved to Trento less than two years ago, either students or workers.
