  One major function of social networks (e.g., massive online social networks)
is the dissemination of information, such as scientific knowledge, news, and
rumors. Information can be propagated by the users of the network via natural
connections in written, oral or electronic form. The information passing from a
sender to receivers and back (in the form of comments) involves all of the
actors considering their knowledge, trust, and popularity, which shape their
publishing and commenting strategies. To understand such human aspects of the
information dissemination, we propose a game theoretical model of a one-way
information forwarding and feedback mechanism in a star-shaped social network
that takes into account the personalities of the communicating actors.
