With the proposition of new opinion that the distribution of many human activities follows heavy-tailed distribution rather than Poisson distribution, the research on human behaviors has received widely attention. As the rapidly development of Immediate Message (IM) services in China, it could exactly reflect the characters of user online behaviors. QQ and We Chat are two of the most popular IM services in China. In the paper, we analyze the records of all QQ and We Chat users in City-A. We find the distribution of traffic records produced by IM service users follows heavy-tailed distribution, but it can’t be fitted by existing functions properly. Then we present a new distribution --Lognormal Exponent (LNE) distribution to approximate the tail of the statistics. Our research will benefit for the research on human dynamics and the traffic engineering.
