[Air-l] Some new online papers on blogs

There is a blog workshop at the WWW2006 conference with all papers online at http://www.blogpulse.com/www2006-workshop/program.html These are mainly quantitative approaches to blog analysis and some are only of interest to system developers but there are some interesting ones - Iranian and Chinese bloggers are both covered, and some papers show clear trends, for example about the relationship between social ties and continued blogging.
