Hi there, You might like to take a look at my recent article which examines a longitudinal change in political websites. Park, H. W., Kim, C. S., & Barnett, G. A. (2004). Socio-communicational structure among political actors on the web in South Korea: The dynamics of digital presence in cyberspace, New Media & Society. 6(3), 403-423. Also, there are three websites for your references http://www.webindicators.org/ http://cybermetrics.wlv.ac.uk/ http://www.leydesdorff.net Best, Han..

Take a look to the ECOresearch Network (www.ecoresearch.net), recently they monitored trends in the global coverage of solar power technologies by electronic mass media and corporate Web sites. They also took weekly snapshots of Web coverage, prior to the US elections last year, to contrast the perceptions of media, companies and environmental organisations.

Hi.

I am wondering whether we can track the changes in the web sites with a given topic.

For example, when I look for web sites on abortion and I like to see the growth of the popularity on the Internet, is there any way to compare the web sites at the six month ago with the web site at this moment? I know some search engines provde some options to set "Date" to limit the web sites by the terms of update.

I like to have any thoughts and ideas for problems and sugggestions.

Have a nice weekend.
