Abstract

Within the context to conduct studies of sociology on the Moroccan community on the Online Social Networks (OSNs), using a rich dataset we will analyze the evolution of the interactions and we will extract the different characteristics related to the behaviors of Moroccan users on Facebook. First, we present our dataset, then we project the interaction’s evolution over time on some possible temporal axis (years, months, days and hours), to display the regular models reflecting the behavior of the users, two resolutions have been adapted. After we will study the different time slots, a big interactions observed during the evening which caused a time lag and a reduction of the hours of sleep among the users, which means an important attachment of the Moroccan community to Facebook.
