Google+ Social Network Analyzed

A Google+ dataset of 211,187 users, 1,506,896 circle memberships, collected by Fire et al. via Google+ API (2013). Each record contains directed edges between Google+ users representing circle memberships (user → circle).

SNAP ego-GooglePlus Social Circles Analyzed

A Google+ (now defunct) dataset of 102,100 nodes and 13,548,655 directed edges across 132 ego networks with ground-truth circles, collected by McAuley and Leskovec (Stanford, 2012) from public Google+ profiles. Each record contains directed follow edges, ground-truth circle memberships (Google+ circles shared publicly), anonymized node feature vectors representing profile attributes. 133 Google+ ego networks with publicly shared ground-truth circles from users who voluntarily released their circle data, providing a uniquely clean community ground-truth from a directed social platform. Suitable for overlapping community detection, ego network analysis, directed social circle inference, link prediction.
