  We study how users of multiple online social networks (OSNs) employ and share
information by studying a common user pool that use six OSNs - Flickr, Google+,
Instagram, Tumblr, Twitter, and YouTube. We analyze the temporal and topical
signature of users' sharing behaviour, showing how they exhibit distinct
behaviorial patterns on different networks. We also examine cross-sharing
(i.e., the act of user broadcasting their activity to multiple OSNs
near-simultaneously), a previously-unstudied behaviour and demonstrate how
certain OSNs play the roles of originating source and destination sinks.
