Abstract
The popularity of microblog brings new characters to information diffusion in social networks. Facing new challenges of understanding information propagation in microblog, the framework of information producing and receiving was proposed. A general model named competing-window is also presented based on human behavior. The detailed composition of the model and its basal mathematical description are also given. In addition, a parameter called information lost as a supplement to measure dynamics of information diffusion. Meanwhile, the further application of our model to information processing and propagating was pointed out. All those work is based on the studies on human dynamics. Finally, to verify applicability, the model was applied to empirical data crawled from Sina-weibo. The interesting patterns extracted from empirical data indicate that microblog in deed is fundamentally characterized by human dynamics.
