    Abstract

    We present a new similarity measure tailored to posts in an online forum. Our
    measure takes into account all the available information about user interest
    and interaction --- the content of posts, the threads in the forum, and the
    author of the posts. We use this post similarity to build a similarity between
    users, based on principal coordinate analysis. This allows easy visualization
    of the user activity as well. Similarity between users has numerous
    applications, such as clustering or classification.
