Abstract

A micro-blog is a social media tool that allows users to write short text messages for public and private networks. This research focuses specifically on the micro-blog on Facebook. The main purposes of this study are to explore and compare what recommendation sources influence the intention to use micro-blogs and to combine the personal characteristics/attributes of gender, daily internet hour usage and past use experience to infer the usage of micro-blogs decision rules using a dominance-based rough-set approach (DRSA) with flow network graph. Data for this study were collected from 382 users and potential users. The analysis is grounded in the taxonomy of induction-related activities using a DRSA with flow network graph to infer the usage of micro-blogs decision rules. Finally, the study of the nature of micro-blog reflects essential practical and academic value in real world.
