Abstract
We discuss foundations and options for alternative, agent-based information retrieval (IR) approaches in Social Networking (SN). In addition to usual semantic contexts, these approaches make use of long-term social and spatio-temporal contexts according to Human IR heuristics. Using a large Twitter dataset, we investigate foundations for these approaches and especially the question in how far spatio-temporal contexts can act as a conceptual bracket implicating social and semantic cohesion, giving rise to the concept of Spatio-Temporal Small Worlds.
