An evaluation algorithm based on HRank was proposed to evaluate the users' influence in microblog social networking platform. By introducing H parameter which used for judging the scientific research achievements of scientists and considering the user's followers and their microblog forwarding numbers, two new H-index models of followers H-index and microblog-forwarded H-index were given. Both of them could represent the users' static characters and their dynamic activities in microblog, respectively. And then the HRank model was established to make comprehensive assessment on users' influence. Finally, the experiments were conducted on Sina microblog data using the HRank model and the PageRank model, and the results were analyzed by correlation on users' influence rank and compared to the results given by Sina microblog. The results show that user influence does not have strong correlation with the number of fans, and the HRank model outperforms the PageRank model. It indicates that the HRank model can be used to identify users influence effectively.
