With the rapid development of Internet, the world has come into a new era of network interaction. Internet development in China makes various kinds of software available to users, by which relatives, close friends, and partners can achieve real-time interactions. It is acknowledged that the recommended issues and persons are the most important parts for user experience. This study concentrates on how to provide a recommendation for users with a common interest in Microblog. We first illustrate some recommended algorithms based on data mining, and the implementation process of friend-recommended system is then stated. After that, by integrating the characteristics of the user information, the forwarding and comments on information to associated users, we present an improved Apriori-based algorithm to rank the recommended information with confidence interval. Simulation results demonstrate the superiority and efficiency of our method.
