Abstract—In this paper, we present a comprehensive empirical study on the correlations between users ’ interest similarity and various social features across three interest domains (i.e., movie, music and TV). This study relies on a large dataset, containing 479; 048 users and 5; 263; 351 user-generated interests, captured from Facebook. We identify the social features from three types of the users ’ information- demographic information (e.g., age, gender, location), social relations (i.e., friendship), and users’ interests. The results reveal that the interest similarity follows the homophily principle, which could be further harnessed by various practical applications and services. I
