Gowalla

Introduced by E. Cho et al. in Friendship and Mobility: User Movement In Location-Based Social Networks21 Aug 2011 archive 2025-07-28

Gowalla is a location-based social networking website where users share their locations by checking-in. The friendship network is undirected and was collected using their public API, and consists of 196,591 nodes and 950,327 edges. We have collected a total of 6,442,890 check-ins of these users over the period of Feb. 2009 - Oct. 2010.

Papers archive 2025-07-28

15 shown of 15 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 203. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
