This study examines the emergent behaviors and states of networks, particularly focusing on e-herding and behavioral influence within platforms like Twitter and Facebook. By analyzing the dynamics of user interactions—such as messaging, following, and tweeting—this research aims to identify factors that drive online and offline behaviors. The analysis incorporates empirical and simulated data to explore the psychological determinants behind user engagement, including time of day and the salience of topics. Insights from this work could enhance understanding of social media dynamics and user behavior.
