Summary:
Complex network methods have released their talents in social network analyses with statistic topological metrics. In reality, social contacts are dynamic and evolving. Nowadays they can be recorded by ubiquitous electronic information technologies, and generated into temporal social networks to provide new vision in social reality mining. Here, we define circle link to quantitatively analyze the contextual relationship in three empirical temporal social networks, and find that two persons having frequent consecutive interactions with a common friend trend to be close. Finally, we present a heuristic link-mining method based on circle link and acquire acceptable results.
