In this paper, we study the correlation between incoming link of users on Twitter, a micro-blogging website online social. Finding the influential user can apply to recommend users to follow their interest’s businesses domain. To analyze and find characteristic of the influential users for applying to improve the performance of recommender system. We use user’s Twitter posts from any solution into predefined business types. In this paper, we propose solution to applied user selection by comparing among three parameters: (1) the number of relevant posts (NumRP) (2) the number of incoming link from business follower (NumUFI) (3) the number of incoming link from every follower (NumTI). Each parameter is ranked and incremental organized into three groups of each parameter: (1) Top-100 (2) Top-200 and (3) Top-300. After that, we applied posts of selected users to build classification model. Comparison between among three user selection parameters and three user groups. From the experimental results, the performance of NumRP yielded the F-measure higher than NumUFI and NumTI respectively. In addition, users who organized into Top-100 user group of each user selection method are influential users.
