People who use these services tend to have  more than one account and use more than one social network. This makes user content scattered  and fragmented across the sites. This study will introduce a fra mework to consolidate user content  into  a  single  place.  And  we  will  demonstrate  the  use  and  benefits  of  this  framework  through  a  location - based social network model application which we called DisQover . The exp ected virtues  of  this  study  can be  beneficial  to  a  variety  of  entities such  as  social  network  researchers,  organizations, and data enthusiasts. 0aSonar 0aOnline social networks 0aOnline information services1 aGuha, Sumanta,eChairperson1 aDailey, Mathew N.,eExamination Committee1 aDuboz, Raphael,eExamination Committee2 aAIT Fellowship,eScholarship donor2 aAsian Institute of Technology.tThesis ;vno.
