Has anyone attempted such an endeavour and what were there findings? I would like to explore this for my country to identify the number of blogs in Pakistan, categorize them within active and non-active (within a given criteria of number of posts) etc. Kindly point me to available work, methodology, tools if any, how such data mining would actually be carried out etc. Appreciating your support in advance. -- Regards. -------------------------- Fouad Bajwa Internet Governance Advisor ICT4D Social Practitioner & Researcher Member Multistakeholder Advisory Group (IGF) Member Civil Society Internet Governance Caucus (IGC) My Blog: Internet's Governance: http://internetsgovernance.blogspot.com/ Follow my Tweets: http://twitter.com/fouadbajwa MAG Interview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATVDW1tDZzA _______________________________________________ The mailing list is provided by the Association of Internet Researchers http://aoir.org Subscribe, change options or unsubscribe at: http://listserv.aoir.org/listinfo.cgi/air-l-aoir.org Join the Association of Internet Researchers: http://www.aoir.org/
