Abstract:
Blogviz is a visualization model for mapping the
transmission and internal structure of top links
across the blogosphere. It explores the idea of
meme propagation by assuming a parallel with
the spreading of most cited URLs in daily weblog
entries.
The main goal of Blogviz is to unravel hidden
patterns in the topics diffusion process. What’s
the life cycle of a topic? How does it start and
how does it evolve through time? Are topics
constrained to a specific community of users?
Who are the most influential and innovative blogs
in any topic? Are there any relationships amongst
topic proliferators?
