4.1.2 Using only forward links Crawling directed graphs, as opposed to undirected graphs, presents additional chal- lenges. In particular, many graphs can only be crawled by following links in the forward direction (i.e., one cannot easily determine the set of nodes which point into a given node). Using only forward links does not necessarily crawl an entire WCC; instead, it explores the connected component reachable from a set of seed users. This limitation is typical for studies that crawl online networks, such as the Web [23]. 59 START ONLY USING FORWARD LINKS USING BOTH FORWARD AND REVERSE LINKS Figure 4.1 : Users reached by crawling different link types. If only forward links are used, we can reach only the inner cloud (shaded cloud); using both forward and reverse links, we can reach the entire WCC (dashed cloud). Figure 4.1 shows an example of a directed graph crawl. The users reached by following only forward links are shown in the shaded cloud, and those reached using both forward and reverse links are shown in the dashed cloud. Using both forward and reverse links allows us to crawl the entire WCC, while using only forward links results in a subset of the WCC.
