Abstract

With rising use of multiple social network sites (SNSs), people now have an increasing number of options for audience, media, and other SNS features at their disposal. In this paper, our goal is to build machine learning models that can predict people’s multi-SNS posting decisions, thus enabling technology that can personalize and augment current SNS use. We explore affordances—the perceived utilities of a SNS’s features—for creating these models. We build an affordance-based model using data collected from a survey about people’s multi-SNS posting behavior (n = 674). Our model predicts posting decisions that are ∼35% more accurate compared to a random baseline, and ∼10% more accurate than predictions based on SNS popularity.
