Abstract
Geo-social media users tend to use different services simultaneously. Whereas significant research attention was put into analyzing contribution patterns to individual social-media platforms, it is less known how the same individual user uses different services. This pilot study analyzes the spatial behavior of users in multiple geo-social media services using geotagged Instagram media objects and Foursquare check-ins for 10 individual users. It assesses the usability of several methods a) to extract and map user activity spaces and b) to quantify the similarity of social media contributions of a user in different platforms. The analysis of user behavior across multiple platforms can help to refine travel behavior models and also to assess the dynamics of user activity levels in different platforms over time.
