English abstract

This paper intends, from a structural point of view, to analyse the network of Flickr’s members who live or were born in Spain. The aim of the study is to know how the network evolves, what is its shape, what groups are detected and what uses are carried out within the network. We identified 663 Flickr members through a double snowball process and harvested their joining date, photos and contacts with a crawler. The results show that the users who joined Flickr in 2004 use the service as a communication medium among amateur photographers, while the subsequent members utilise Flickr as a real social network, using the photos as a way to express personal experiences, opinions and tastes.

Spanish abstract

El presente trabajo analiza desde un punto de vista estructural la red de miembros de Flickr que viven o han nacido en España. Con ello se pretende conocer como ha evolucionado, cual es su forma, qué grupos se detectan y qué usos realizan dentro de ella. Para ello se han identificado 663 miembros de Flickr a través de un doble proceso de bola de nieve y a continuación se ha extraído con un crawler la fecha de adscripción, fotos y contactos. Los resultados nos muestran que los usuarios adscritos en 2004 tienden a usar Flickr como un medio de comunicación entre aficionados a la fotografía, mientras que los miembros posteriores la utilizan como una red social en sí misma, usando las fotos como una forma de expresar experiencias, opiniones y gustos personales.
