Abstract

Microblogs are often considered to be useful sources of information. Increasing popularity of micro blogging sites like twitter, is making them a viable source of real-time news with a huge potential to replace news sites. Credibility of such microblogs is of concern when they are to be considered as sources of news. This paper details on an approach to examine microblogs like tweets, determine their credibility and categorize them under different news topics. This approach builds upon the previous work done in microblog credibility determination and rating. This paper works with twitter as test data source. The proposed novel approach can be extended to any other microblogs also.
