This book discusses various related research models of identity that offer an explanation of the social network, the voting behavior in a film festival dedicated, organized within the uses and gratifications perspective and involved an online survey of college students who identified as podcast listeners, and other topics. Social networks have the surprising property of being "searchable": Ordinary people are capable of directing messages through their network of acquaintances to reach a specific but distant target person in only a few steps. We present a model that offers an explanation of social network searchability in terms of recognizable personal identities: sets of characteristics measured along a number of social dimensions. In this research analyze the voting behavior in a specialized Film Festival held every year in San Francisco. The use of Data Mining and Bioinspired algorithm permits to analyze the determinants of success from a specific kind of film.
