Abstract
In this paper, we introduce an agent for recommending information to a user on Twitter, which is one of the most popular microblogging services. For recommending sufficient information for a user, it is important to extract automatically user’s interest with accuracy and to collect new information which interests and attracts the user. The agent that is introduced in this paper extracts automatically user’s interests from tweets on the timeline of the user and finds the web sites that would provide new information which interests the user from the tweets. The agent selects recommending information from the web sites and posts it on the user’s timeline. Experimental results show that our agent is able to recommend sufficient information for users of Twitter in a natural manner.
