Abstract: We introduce a stochastic model which describes diffusions of tweets on the Twitter network. By dividing the followers into generations, we describe the dynamics of the tweet diffusion as a random multiplicative process. We confirm our model by directly observing the statistics of the multiplicative factors in the Twitter data.
