Hi Ben, It was last updated in Dec 2006, but Dan's Blog Resources has a master list of blog related articles (381 articles): http://www.ourboldhero.com/research/masterlist.html Cheers, Tama On Nov 5, 2007 9:01 AM, Ben Spigel <spigel.1@osu.edu> wrote:
I'm currently writing a lit review for an article discussing networks of knowledge transfer among blogs. The real topic of study is proving that the geographical concept of 'buzz' can be transferred over the Internet.
If this does get published (god willing) it will be one of the first papers in geography on blogs, so I would like to include a decent literature review that touches upon some of the major works. The goal is to cite works which are good at defining blogs and at describing their more important features and influences on modern society.
The articles on blogs I'm citing now are:
Anjewierden, de Hoog, Brussee and Eifmova, (2006) Detecting knowledge flows in weblogs, in F. Dau, M.-L. Mugnier, and G. Stumme (eds.) Common Semantics for Sharing Knowledge: Contributions to ICCS 2005 (Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Conceptual Structures, ICCS 2005, Kassel, Germany, July 17-22, 2005) Kassel: Kassel University Press, pp.
Bar-Ilan, J. (2005) Information hub blogs. Journal of Information Science 31: 297-307.
Wellman, B. (2001) Computer networks as social networks. Science 243: 2031-2034.
Winer, D. (2003) What makes a weblog a weblog. http://www.scripting.com/davenet/2003/06/18/whatMakesAWeblogAWeblog.html (not exactly an academic source, but what are you going to do)
Lin, J., Halavais, A., and Zhang, B. (2007). The blog network in america: Blogs as indicators of relationships among us cities. Connections, 27(2):15–23.
Vigas, F. (2005). Blogger' expectations of privacy and accountability: An initial survey. Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication, 10(3).
Obviously, there is much more out there on blogs than this. What other sources would make up a good 'canon of blogs' list?
Thanks,
