Location-based social networks (LSNs) allow users to see where their friends are, to search location-tagged content within their social graph, and to meet others nearby.
For the first time ever, a comprehensive collection of information on human beings, their socialties, and their behavior in space and time, compiled from data shared in Location Based SocialNetworks, is available for investigation.
Despite the fact that data from LBSN provide an interesting source for research in GIScience there are still few studies focusing on the exploitation and application of such information using methods of GIScience.
