Social interactions influence our thoughts, opinions and actions. In this paper, social interactions are studied within a group of individuals composed of influential social leaders and followers. Each person is assumed to maintain a social state, which can be an emotional state or an opinion. Followers update their social states based on the states of local neighbors, while social leaders maintain a constant desired state. Social interactions are modeled as a general directed graph where each directed edge represents an influence from one person to another

 

Social interactions influence our emotions, opinions, and behaviors. Technological advances in social media pro-vide more rapid, convenient, and widespread commu-nication among individuals, which leads to a more dy-namic interaction and influence. For example, recent ri-ots [1] and ultimately revolution [2], have been facilitated through social media technologies such as Facebook,Twitter, YouTube, and BlackBerry Messaging (BBM).
