Abstract(in English) Understanding users' behavior can greatly affect the strategies for marketing and targeted advertising. In this paper, we investigate information on social media that can help us to understand customers' preferences. We present a new scale for measuring the similarity between brands by analyzing similarity of posts from their followers. Then we evaluate our results by comparing with the real-world customers' purchasing history.
